Before Gabrielle Hamilton opened her acclaimed New York restaurant Prune, she spent twenty hard-living years looking for purpose and meaning in her life. Blood, Bones & Butter follows an unconventional journey in the course of the many kitchens Hamilton has inhabited over time: 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 used to be ceaselessly 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 better half’s mother, who serves as the link between Hamilton’s idyllic past and her own future family—the results 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.
