The Sharper Your Knife, The Less You Cry by Kathleen Flinn
The Sharper Your Knife, The Less You Cry made me want to 1)eat 2)take a cooking class and 3)hop on a plane to Paris. This charming tome tells the tale of 36-year-old Kathleen Flinn, who loses her corporate job and decides to follow her dreams by moving to Paris and enrolling in the Cordon Bleu cooking school. It also tells the love story of Kathleen and her now-husband, Mike, who encouraged her to pursue her dream.
We follow Flinn's adventures as she progresses through Basic, Intermediate, and Superior levels of classes, deals with crazy-out-of town guests, struggles with the French language, navigates her way around Paris, and figures out what really matters in life. The story is told with a sense of humor--and plenty of recipes. A total delight.

I'm glad you liked it. I did too, though it did not make me want to go to cooking school!
ReplyDeleteIt did not make me want to go to Cordon Bleu school, where you had to pull all the bones out of a chicken or kill a live lobster. But perhaps pastry school.
