Reviews
Praise for Kitchens of the Great Midwest: "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 "This is a book that made me want to have a more full and colorful life, a life with cookbooks and a well-used kitchen, and to delight at all the goodness that can be put in front of us." -- Los Angeles Review of Books "A sweet and savory treat." -- People "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 " Kitchens of the Great Midwest is a terrific reminder of what can be wrested from suffering and struggle - not only success, but also considerable irony, a fair amount of wisdom and a decent meal." --Jane Smiley, The Guardian "Warning: this will make you hungry. . . . You won't be able to put it down. And it will up your kitchen game." --The Skimm "Garrison Keillor's got nothing on [J. Ryan Stradal]!" --NPR, "Here and Now" "A tender coming-of-age story with a mix of finely rendered pathos and humor." -- The Washington Post "Stradal's debut novel tackles foodie culture with all the finesse of a pastry chef. . . Reading Kitchens is all pleasure." --LA Magazine "Stradal's debut is charming, rife with hardy, self-deprecating humor, but in Kitchens of the Great Midwest [Stradal] really proves his mettle as a novelist to look out for." --Bustle.com "Kitchens of the Great Midwest is a big-hearted, funny, and class-transcending pleasure. It's also both a structural and empathetic tour de force, stepping across worlds in the American midwest, and demonstrating with an enviable tenderness and ingenuity the tug of war between our freedom to pursue our passions and our obligations to those we love." --Jim Shepard, author of Project X and National Book Award finalist Like You'd Understand, Anyway "Tender, funny, and moving, J. Ryan Stradal's debut novel made me crave my mother's magic cookie bars...and every good tomato I've ever had the privilege of eating. Kitchens of the Great Midwest manages to be at once sincere yet sharply observed, thoughtful yet swiftly paced, and the lives of its fallible, realistic, and complicated characters mattered to me deeply. It's a fantastic book." --Edan Lepucki, bestselling author of California "In Kitchens of the Great Midwest, a charming, fast-moving round robin tale of food, sensuality and Midwestern culture, Mr. Stradal has delivered one extremely tasty, well-seasoned debut in what is sure to be a long and savory career." --Janet Fitch, author White Oleander "From the quite literally burning passions of a lonely eleven-year-old girl with an exceptional palate, to the ethical dilemmas behind a batch of Blue Ribbon Peanut Butter Bars, J. Ryan Stradal writes with a special kind of meticulous tenderness--missing nothing and accepting everything. A superbly gratifying debut." --Meg Howrey, author of The Crane's Dance, Praise for The Lager Queen of Minnesota: "Utterly charming. . . Stradal loves and knows his territory, and his affection for the Midwest--with all its stubbornness, stoicism, long memories, readiness to provide aid and quiet pride in excellence--gleams on every page." --Janet Fitch, bestselling author of The Revolution of Marina M.

So she can't help wondering what her life would have been like with even a portion of the farm money her sister kept for herself. With the proceeds from the farm, Helen builds one of the most successful light breweries in the country, and makes their company motto ubiquitous: "Drink lots. It's Blotz." Where Edith has a heart as big as Minnesota, Helen's is as rigid as a steel keg. Yet one day, Helen will find she needs some help herself, and she could find a potential savior close to home. . . if it's not too late. Meanwhile, Edith's granddaughter, Diana, grows up knowing that the real world requires a tougher constitution than her grandmother possesses. She earns a shot at learning the IPA business from the ground up--will that change their fortunes forever, and perhaps reunite her splintered family? Here we meet a cast of lovable, funny, quintessentially American characters eager to make their mark in a world that's often stacked against them. In this deeply affecting family saga, resolution can take generations, but when it finally comes, we're surprised, moved, and delighted., A National Bestseller " The perfect pick-me-up on a hot summer day.
