Blood, Bones and Butter by Gabrielle Hamilton
'Magnificent’ Anthony Bourdain A sharply crafted and unflinchingly honest memoir. This is a rollicking, passionate story of food, purpose and family. Blood, Bones & Butter follows the chef Gabrielle Hamilton's extraordinary journey through the places she has inhabited over the years: the rural kitchen of her childhood, where her adored mother stood over the six-burner with wooden spoon in hand; the kitchens of France, Greece, and Turkey, where she was often fed by complete strangers and learned the essence of hospitality; and the kitchen of her beloved Italian mother-in-law, who serves as the link between Hamilton's idyllic past and her own future family. ‘Evocative…dazzling…beautifully written’ New York Times Perfect for fans of Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat.
Magnificent.. Blood, Bones & Butter is the work of an uncompromising chef and a prodigiously talented writer. I am choked with envy -- Anthony Bourdain
