Rosie may be from a small town, but she definitely has passion for baking.  She’s even won a prestigious scholarship to an exclusive cooking school in France, owned by the reknowned chef Denis Laurent.  On the plane she meets Henry Yi, who is also headed to chef Laurent’s school.  The two have a connection and they try to see if there is something more, but the competition and the stress of school, including pressure from Henry’s mom and mixed romantic signals from another contestant.

All-in-all a very sweet book. Great descriptions of French cuisine and other beautiful food.  If you liked the 100 Foot Journey, then you will love this.
