About this product
Product Information
A delightful true story of food, Paris, and the fulfillment of a lifelong dream In 2003, Kathleen Flinn, a thirty-six-year-old American living and working in London, returned from vacation to find that her corporate job had been eliminated. Ignoring her mother’s advice that she get another job immediately or never get hired anywhere ever again,” Flinn instead cleared out her savings and moved to Paris to pursue a dream—a diploma from the famed Le Cordon Bleu cooking school. The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry is the touching and remarkably funny account of Flinn’s transformation as she moves through the school’s intense program and falls deeply in love along the way. Flinn interweaves more than two dozen recipes with a unique look inside Le Cordon Bleu amid battles with demanding chefs, competitive classmates, and her wretchedly inadequate” French. Flinn offers a vibrant portrait of Paris, one in which the sights and sounds of the city’s street markets and purveyors come alive in rich detail. The ultimate wish fulfillment book, her story is a true testament to pursuing a dream. Fans of Julie & Julia, Almost French , and Eat, Pray, Love will be amused, inspired, and richly rewarded by this seductive tale of romance, Paris, and French food.

Elizabeth Gilbert, author of "Eat, Pray, Love" "The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry" is an engaging story about a fantasy fulfilled. It's Under the Tuscan Sun goes to cooking school. Michael Ruhlman, author of "The Soul of a Chef" Although I can't cook my way out of a "sac de papier," I found this book a joy to read. It's is a compelling story about learning to cook and learning to love at the same time, told with humility, humor and passion. Bill Radke, host of public radio's "Weekend America" Kat Flynns vivid story of her adventures at Le Cordon Bleu Paris had me smiling page after page.
