??An impressive feat of narrative jujitsu . . . that keeps readers turning the pages too fast to realize just how ingenious they are.???The New York Times Book Review, Editor??s Pick /> From the New York Times bestselling author of The Lager Queen of Minnesota, Kitchens of the Great Midwest is a novel about a young woman with a once-in-a-generation palate who becomes the iconic chef behind the country??s most coveted dinner reservation.
When Lars Thorvald??s wife, Cynthia, falls in love with wine??and a dashing sommelier??he??s left to raise their baby, Eva, on his own.

> Où, plus favorablement que dans une cuisine, peut-on croiser le monde entier, se frotter aux classes sociales les plus diverses ? La gastronomie est un langage international, et la préparation d'un plat un hommage rendu au passé. C'est ce que J. Ryan Stradal exprime, en filigrane, dans son roman initiatique Les Cuisines du grand Midwest. L'aventure commence avec Lars Thorvald, fils docile qui perpétue à Noël la tradition scandinave du lutefisk, un plat qui « ressemble à du smog en gelée et sent l'eau d'aquarium bouillie ». Cet héritage lui permettra de devenir un excellent chef, et de transmettre son don à sa fille, Eva. Eva, ses études, ses expériences et son savoir deviennent alors le chemin de table de cette histoire où l'on croise des mères de famille prêtes à mourir pour gagner un concours de barres chocolatées, des jeunes filles capables d'avaler des piments sans broncher, des hommes amoureux... La construction originale, l'écriture à la fois réaliste et poétique, mêlée d'humour bien dosé, offrent à ce roman d'amour, et de bouche, son supplément d'âme. Eva, génie passé des fast-food de l'Amérique profonde à l'auberge étoilée, restera malgré tout une enfant abandonnée cherchant, à travers une vinaigrette à la gelée de poivrons ou une pavlova aux mûres du Dakota, à retrouver la douceur d'une caresse familiale trop vite enfuie. Kitchens of the great Midwest, traduit de l'anglais (Etats-Unis) par Jean Esch, éd. Rue Fromentin, 350 p. — Christine Ferniot —Christine Ferniot (Télérama)

For now, she would return to her kitchen, wash the plate, the cup, and the fork, and just live in the world she had created, the world where the two of them existed, and nothing more.
