NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER – A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOKNAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Miami Herald – Newsday – The Huffington Post – Financial Times – GQ – Slate – Men’s Journal – Washington Examiner – Publishers Weekly – Kirkus Reviews – National Post – The Toronto Star – BookPage – BookreporterBefore Gabrielle Hamilton opened her acclaimed New York restaurant Prune, she spent twenty hard-living years trying to find purpose and meaning in her life. Blood, Bones & Butter follows an unconventional journey through the many kitchens Hamilton has inhabited through the years: the rural kitchen of her childhood, where her adored mother stood over the six-burner with an oily 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; Hamilton’s own kitchen at Prune, with its many unexpected challenges; and the kitchen of her Italian mother-in-law, who serves as the link between Hamilton’s idyllic past and her own future family–the result of a prickly marriage that nonetheless yields lasting dividends. By turns epic and intimate, Gabrielle Hamilton’s story is told with uncommon honesty, grit, humor, and passion.
