The Kitchen Counter Cooking School by Kathleen Flinn

I took this one of him after the annual Gasparilla Parade in Tampa.Ībout this site. At right you’ll see a photo of my husband, Mike, since “Kathleen Flinn husband” is one of the most popular Google search terms that leads people to my site. Tell me you subscribe to my site and we can cut you a deal. We live most of the year in Seattle, but we also have a home on Anna Maria Island in Florida a few blocks from my mom’s house. My mom took my official author photo, and I rather love that. My last day job was working for Microsoft in London. I’d like to add that I also read Tarot cards (really), used to do stand-up comedy and once worked as a singing telegram messenger. She lives in Seattle with her husband, Mike, and their rescue dog, Maddy.

She founded the popular food writing curriculum Hungry for Words in 2006 and has elements of the coursework at more than a dozen writer’s conferences, universities and culinary schools. Her third book, Burnt Toast Makes You Sing Good, a multi-generational memoir of her quirky family’s culinary adventures in the Midwest was named a 2015 Notable Book by the Library of Michigan, and was a finalist in the IACP Cookbook Awards for literary writing, Goodreads Choice Awards and the Pacific Northwest Book Awards. It became an instant sensation and one of the only translated books to hit Amazon.jp’s Top 30 list that year. In 2017, her second book was translated into Japanese with the spirited title, Miracle Cooking Lessons for Bad Women. Her acclaimed follow-up, The Kitchen Counter Cooking School, was named a 2012 Book of the Year by the American Society of Journalists & Authors (ASJA). Kathleen Flinn is an award-winning author and journalist, best known for The New York Times best-selling memoir, The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry. Since people come to this page expecting some kind of bio, here’s my official author-y one from my publisher. I love teaching, arguably more than I like writing. One is fiction, one is non-fiction and one is a cookbook of sorts. I’m the author of three books (all with Viking/Penguin), with more on the way. Welcome! I’m Kathleen Flinn, a storyteller, cook and teacher.
