VIRTUAL & IN-PERSON MEETING

Kitchens of the Great Midwest by J. Ryan Stradal

Eva Thorvald is a baby when her mother leaves and then her father dies. But despite never really knowing her chef father and sommelier mother, Eva discovers that cooking is in her blood. She navigates a tumultuous childhood to become one of the top chefs in the country, running an ultrahip pop-up supper club with a years-long waiting list. Telling Eva’s story through the eyes of her father, her boyfriend, a rival, a cousin and many others, Stradal’s debut novel intertwines food and family and includes recipes!

Moderated by Readers Advisory Librarian Cindy Haiken. For details about meeting virtually or in-person, contact Cindy Haiken at chaiken@wallingfordlibrary.org.
