## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy Read
*by  on Reviewed in the United States 3 July 2026*

I love this book! The author has other books and I am looking forward to reading them . I love the little bit of comment and the fact that she really lived the experiences in the book . Easy read, especially if you are a foody

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best books I have ever read
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 22 October 2009*

This book is wonderful for anyone interested in cooking. it is so well written, the book really flows and it is so dissappointing when you finish it!! You really feel you are in Paris and the atmosphere leaps out of the pages at you-A wonderful, wonderful book

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Attend Le Cordon Bleu without making the trip - excellent
*by  on Reviewed in Canada 6 May 2014*

Kathleen Flinn has done a fine job balancing her story about attending Le Cordon Bleu cooking school in Paris. She provides highlights of the lessons of cooking in an informative and memorable way, even including a Cordon Bleu recipe in each chapter. She offers plenty of humor about her failings and the foibles of her sometimes-eccentric chef-teachers and classmates. And she imparts unexpected yet welcome warmth and gentle pathos in writing about her relationship with her partner and living in Paris, just enough to be interesting. (She avoids the over-long syrupy prattle of Eat, Pray, Love.) Her book engages, teaches, and entertains from start to finish.
