The Sharper Your Knife

The Less You Cry...Love, Laughter, and Tears in Paris at the World's Most Famous Cooking School by Kathleen Flinn. Just finished this book last night before I went to bed. I have been reading it off and on for about a week...but it is hard to read because it makes you hungry. At the end of every chapter there are recipes for a variety of foods. I was especially excited about the Onion Soup and the Cassoulet since that is what we are making for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. The other recipes sounded good as well. Our main character (this is nonfiction) goes to France to learn the art of French cooking at Le Cordon Bleu. She is a little whiny, but no more so than Julie in Julie and Julia. You meet some great people, see some great places and experience some of the less glamorous life of a cooking school student. I recommend it for you foodies out there and for those of you who have always wanted to go to cooking school...you can live vicariously through Ms. Flinn.
