5/25/2023 0 Comments Blood bones butterBlood, Bones, & Butter is different though, because instead of including recipes, Gabrielle Hamilton wrote an entire corresponding cookbook, Prune. Most chef memoirs include recipes that complement the stories, but for whatever reason, I never tend to cook any of them. The long hours, overwhelming heat of the line, and difficult customers are universal across nearly all kitchens, and there are certain things people who spend a lot of time in kitchens have in common, such as Gabrielle Hamilton and I both love cleaning out and organizing walk-in coolers. Learning how different chefs got their starts and paying attention to their perspectives on the industry and advice for success, I find myself learning something from each book but also relating to the authors. I’m not sure what book it was that I was reading on that trip, but when I read that Blood, Bones, & Butter wasn’t published until 2012 (five years after my Outerbanks vacation) I realized I hadn’t read it and downloaded it right away. I had an image in my head of myself laying on the beach in the Outerbanks in North Carolina reading the book. It’s often regarded as one of the best chef memoirs, and up until last week, I was certain I had already read it. Earlier this week, I finished reading Blood, Bones & Butter by Gabrielle Hamilton.
