Book Review: Knife Skills for Beginners by Orlando Murrin đ§âđłđ
Rating: âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸
Okay, let me just say that I absolutely loved Knife Skills for Beginners by Orlando Murrin! From the moment I cracked open the coverâwhich, by the way, is so eye-catching and beautifully designedâI was completely hooked. This book is a delightful blend of culinary adventure, mystery, and just the right amount of humor. đđ
The story takes place in the charming Chester Square Cookery School in London, where our protagonist, chef Paul Delamare, is roped into teaching a week-long course after his friend Christian Wagner breaks his arm. Let me tell you, Paul is not your typical enthusiastic teacher. Heâs struggling with his own issues and has a bit of a grumpy vibe when he first steps into the classroom filled with aspiring chefs who seem more interested in flirting than learning how to make the perfect choux pastry. But things take a wild turn when someone ends up dead, and a cleaverâyep, the very one Paul used earlierâbecomes the murder weapon. đŞđą
What I really appreciated about this book is how well itâs written. Murrinâs background as a MasterChef semi-finalist shines through in the detailed foodie information sprinkled throughout. Seriously, I learned so much about cooking techniques while being entertained by a solid whodunit plot that kept me guessing until the very end! đ˝ď¸đ¤
And letâs not forget the cast of characters! Each one brings their own quirks and charm to the table (pun intended). From the clueless students to the enigmatic chef, they all contribute to a rich and engaging narrative. I found myself laughing out loud at several momentsâMurrin definitely knows how to balance the tension with lightheartedness. đđŠâđł
In summary, if youâre looking for a cozy mystery that ticks all the boxesâgreat setting, well-researched culinary tidbits, and a plot that keeps you on your toesâthen dive into Knife Skills for Beginners. I honestly canât remember the last time I had this much fun with a mystery novel! Hereâs hoping for a second installment soon because I am so ready for more of Paulâs adventures (and maybe some more delicious recipes). đâ¨
