"Lynch's love of food and hard scrabble Southie upbringing are
blended into a rich and engaging narrative that sheds light on the
different influences that helped shape her career. The narrative is
evocative of Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential...Foodies will
enjoy the vivid language used to describe Lynch's food exploits,
and old neighbors will be treated to a trip around south Boston
through the eyes of a local."-- "Library Journal"
"Barbara's debut memoir is a funny but frank read that captures the
fierce drive required to overcome challenges and triumph over
adversities. Out of Line will serve as inspiration for young cooks
to seasoned kitchen vets and everyone in between. A must
read!"--Eric Ripert, chef and author of 32 Yolks
"Lynch's life story struck me as a culinary take on A Tree Grows in
Brooklyn; a poignant tale of rough streets and poverty navigated by
a bright, sensitive child who never outgrew her love for the place
that made her tough, tender and fearless."--Kathleen Flinn, The
Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry and Burnt Toast Makes You Sing
