Kathleen Flinn, author of The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry - our blogger the week of 9/1

Fri, 08/29/2008

Kathleen Flinn is our guest blogger during the week of September 1st. If you have any questions for Kathleen Flinn, add a comment to any of her posts. Here is some more information about The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry:

This is the funny and inspiring account of Kathleen Flinn's struggle in a stew of hot-tempered chefs, competitive classmates, her own "wretchedly inadequate" French, and the basics of French cuisine. Flinn was a thirty-six-year-old middle manager trapped on the corporate ladder-until her boss eliminated her job. So she cashed in her savings and moved to Paris to pursue her lifelong dream of attending the venerable Le Cordon Bleu cooking school. Fans of Julie & Julia and the late Julia Child will be richly rewarded by this vibrant tale of self-discovery, transformation, and ultimately love.
