As seen on the Today Show! Lekker is proud to present chef Barbara Lynch's cookbook Stir!

Although Barbara Lynch was born and raised in South Boston, not Tuscany, many critics believe her food rivals the best of Italy. It has been praised by Bon Appétit, Food & Wine, and Gourmet, and many more.

Lynch’s cuisine is all the more remarkable because it is self-taught. In a story straight out of Good Will Hunting, she grew up in the turbulent projects of “Southie,” where petty crime was the only viable way to make a living. But in a home economics class in high school, she discovered her passion. Through a mix of hunger for knowledge, hard work, and raw smarts, she gradually created her own distinctive style of cooking, mining Italian and French classics for ideas and seasoning them with imagination. The 120 recipes in Stir combine sophistication with practicality.

Lekker is thankful to have had the opportunity to contribute to the book's beautiful photography by Deborah Jones with many items from our store. Mangia, mangia!
