The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry by Kathleen Flinn 641.07 Fli

Kathleen (Kat)Flinn was a thirty-six-year-old American living in London. A relationship with a man she had met through work a few years back has just gone to a different level. There is a hint that he may actually be the one for her. Won't her mother finally be happy!!! She has just returned to London after a vacation with Mike, the guy!, and her family. That was a funny part! Her boss calls to meet Kat for coffee before she goes back to the office. Guess what! She no longer has a job. Okay, maybe this is a sign from above. She can move back to Seattle and work on the relationship with Mike. So she calls him with the news and cautiously suggests she move back. His answer floors her! He doesn't think she should come. He suggests she move to Paris and spend her savings on tuition at Le Cordon Bleu. What a guy! She had mentioned this secret dream to him four years ago....and he remembered. If he isn't the right guy I don't know who is. But it gets better. He says he'll quit his job and come with her - just like that.
So she goes on-line to check and finds it very easy to apply by computer. Three days later she is accepted and school starts in 24 days. This book is the story of her experiences in this prestigious school and of living in Paris. I found the information fascinating. At the end of each chapter is a recipe - none of which I would or could make. This is a quick read and I think it would appeal to lots of people. You will definitely appreciate the next fine meal you have!
