Gina's Reviews > The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry: Love, Laughter, and Tears at the World's Most Famous Cooking School

I read another book by this author a year or two ago and enjoyed it, so when I was craving a good foodie read recently I decided to look for more. I was not disappointed. Most of her books are memoir-style and very entertaining. This book chronicles her journey through Le Cordon Bleu cooking school after being booted out of the corporate world (isn't this every foodie-stuck-in-a-cubicle's fantasy? No? OK, maybe just mine then. Although after reading about how tough the chef instructors there are, I may reconsider my bucket list. Her descriptions of Paris made me want to hop on a plane, and her escapades in class were downright hilarious at times. I even teared up at the end, because...well, you'll just have to read to find out.

I totally loved Kathleen and Mike, they struck me as down to earth people who you could easily hang out with eating great food and discussing life. I seriously had a big fat crush on him through most of the book because he's the kind of partner we all need-supportive, adventurous and just darn near perfect.

Bonus you'll find in most of her books: RECIPES!!! Granted, most of these were either from her classes or derivatives of those original LCB recipes, but I didn't feel like the ingredients were too hard to find or the instructions too complicated for someone who knows their way around a kitchen. I'm excited to try some of them and read more of her books.
