When Jenna Weber graduated from college there were no jobs to be found. Drawing on her desire to write about food and maybe pen some cookbooks, she decides to go to Le Cordon Bleu in Florida for culinary arts training to really understand what she’s writing about. Throughout her training in the baking and pastry program, she attempts to deal with the loss of her brother, finding jobs to pay the tuition and rent, and long distance relationships, but mostly to find her place in the world and be happy.
Her story is not unlike many others, but it brings to mind that with a good attitude, good friends and family all things are possible. The author includes a few recipes that are simple and sound very tasty, such as Mexican cheesecake. She also started a blog at eatliverun.com. This book is a quick satisfying read that lets you know life is a great adventure.
