A novel about one girl's extraordinary farm-to-table success story, about mothers and daughters, how food becomes the common language of lives, and the bittersweet nature of life itself with its missed opportunities and joyful surprises.

Showing the ways in which food provides us with both comfort and community, Kitchens of the Midwest is a tale that is vividly sensory as well as by turns quirky, hilarious, and heartbreaking. 

“The author's gentle skewering of foodie snobs (from county fair doyennes to the vegan/gluten-free/soy-free police) is spot on, and the blend of humor, warmth, and longing that he uses to portray family relationships make the book insightful and endearing.  Savor it page by page.” -- Oprah.com
