Rosie Radeke, from a small town in Ohio, arrives in Paris to attend the culinary school of a celebrity chef. Henry, the other narrator, meets her on the plane to Paris and is charmed. Henry makes many missteps in pursuing Rosie, even as they bond over French pastries. Both struggle to avoid getting expelled from their teacher’s cooking lessons, which follow the pattern of television competition shows, here with a multicultural group of teenage cooks. Rosie’s cooking sometimes fails, and Henry is under pressure from the expectations of his Korean-American parents. Paris, of course, is romantic and full of great food, a great place to learn lessons about yourself and who you can become.
