I used to be a technology journalist for The Times (of London). Then I got divorced, sold our old farmhouse in the South of France and became a dishwasher in a gastronomic restaurant in Avignon, Provence. My restaurant chef recognised a glimmer of talent and persuaded me to do my CAP cuisine, the high school course you do when you're 16 in France and want to become a chef - except instead of doing it full time over two years, I did it one day a week in one year. While working full time in the restaurant.

Eat Sleep Cook School! is the story of that year.

    I enjoyed this a lot, his observations are spot on, and it's very funny. I usually avoid "Brit-expat-in-France" books like the plague, but this is very different. The writer is doing something real, getting his hands dirty, if you like. I'm sorry he couldn't follow that particular dream, but I'm glad he wrote about it. :)

    Having been a chef myself for 25 years I laughed and cried and nodded in agreement and thoroughly enjoyed this book. I also identify with the Carpol Tunnel syndrome too. Agony! Whether you love or hate cooking (It helps if you love it) this is an excellent read.
