AUTHOR BIO

Kathleen Flinn is the author of the best-selling memoir, The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry, about her experiences leaving the corporate world to study at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris – where she fell in love with her husband. Her second book, The Kitchen Counter Cooking School: How a Few Simple Lessons Transformed Nine Women into Fearless Home Cooks (Viking/Penguin, October 2011) is based on a project in which Flinn tried to understand why people rely on convenience foods and what kinds of cooking lessons make an impact on inexperienced cook. It has been selected as an Indie Next Pick and earned a starred review from Kirkus Reviews.

A writer for more than 20 years in print and online, her work has appeared in more than three dozen publications worldwide. Her last day job was head of editorial for MSN.co.uk in the United Kingdom. She serves on the board of directors for the International Association of Culinary Professionals. She lives in Seattle
