Henri Yi grew up at his father's restaurant and loves to cook, so that is why he is boarding a plane from Chicago to Paris, where he will be attending the culinary school of Chef Laurent, which is a competitive program where only the 20 best teens are admitted.
On the plane he meets a girl, Rosie. They start talking and find out that they both are attending the culinary school.
Once they arrive and start classes at the school, live in the city of light seems not so perfect as it seems. The classes are at a difficult and challenging level and they get judged by top chefs, it is then that they find out their cooking talent is just at a starting point, and they have to work hard to reach the next level or to be send home. Beside classes they Henri finds out that Rosie is not so interested in him as he is in her, because she has her eyes set on Bodie Tal, the son of a famous celebrity chef, who is also attending the classes.
With romance sparks flying up, the teens attending the program with Henri and Rosie as the main characters in the middle, really have to prove what they are worth to become the next top chefs.
Love à la Mode is a sweet and romantic read that is perfect for every teen interesting in cooking and everyone who loves cooking competition shows. The book also reminded me a little bit of Anna and the French Kiss so it is also a perfect read for fans of that one.
I do have to say though that I found the storyline thin. The romance between Henri, and Rosie was okay. It started slow though because Rosie first had her eyes set on Bodie Tal. In the end the romance part really took off but then the book ended. There is a lot of drama in between and some conflicts, but nothing really special that puts you on the edge of your seat. It was all a bit thin and sometimes needless, but I got the meaning that it was supposed to be all cute in the end. And of course no book set in Paris is complete with a scene at the Eiffel Tower!
Overall a okay and cute read centered around cooking.
