Ignoring her mother??s advice that she find another job immediately, Flinn moved to Paris to pursue a dream??a diploma from the venerable Le Cordon Bleu cooking school. But instead of being ushered into ??a glamorous world of soufflés and foie gras,? Flinn found herself struggling in a stew of hot-tempered chefs, competitive classmates, and her own ??wretchedly inadequate? French.

As the story moves through the various classes, the basics of French cuisine are interwoven. Flinn also offers her experience of the vibrant sights and sounds of the markets, shops, and avenues of Paris. In time, Flinn triumphs in her battles and wins over the toughest chef. More important, though, she challenges a career-focused mentality and attempts a discovery of what really matters to her. She even comes to realize that the love of her life has been right in front Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

"In a few instances, time has been compressed and events rearranged for the purpose of story and narrative."
That's fine for a work of fiction, but a memoir? Basically Ms. Flinn is telling us that she makes stuff up as needed when her story gets boring.
