Praise for The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry

“I can never get enough of true stories about people who stop in the middle of their life’s journey to ask, ‘What do I really want?’ and then have the guts to actually go get it. Kathleen Flinn’s tale of chasing her ultimate dream makes for a really lovely book—engaging, intelligent and surprisingly suspenseful.”

—Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love

—Michael Ruhlman, author of The Soul of a Chef

—Bill Radke, host of NPR’s Weekend America

 

“Kat Flinn’s vivid story of her adventures at Le Cordon Bleu Paris had me smiling page after page. It’s about what you should always think about in the pressure behind a hot stove—the pure romance of cooking.”
