Title: read some of the book before buying
Review: I thought the premise for this book was very good, and I bought it with the intent to read it and share it with friends. However, I returned the book for a refund after reading less than half of the story.The main character in the story was constantly swearing or crying. The cleanliness of the kitchen was questionable, which was making me lose my appetite for the French food being prepared. The only eggs I want to read about in a book about cooking are the kind that come from hens. I really did not want to know that the main character was able to pay off her credit cards by selling her own eggs - twice! Parts of the story describe the main character's job near Ground Zero as an impatient and unsympathetic secretary at an agency that assisted families of the victims of 9/11.My advice to readers is to read a good portion of this book in a bookstore before you decide to purchase it, especially if you intend to give this book as a gift.
