7PM THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2 Meet Gabrielle Hamilton: Blood, Bones and Butter |  | Gabrielle Hamilton Credit: Christopher Smith for The New York Times | "Magnificent. Simply the best memoir by a chef ever." —Anthony Bourdain New York Times bestselling author Gabrielle Hamilton visits with Blood, Bones & Butter, a memoir of her her unorthodox journey to becoming a professional chef in Blood, Bones and Butter. Before Hamilton opened her acclaimed New York restaurant Prune, she spent twenty fierce, hard-living years trying to find purpose and meaning in her life. Her memoir follows her journey through the many kitchens Hamilton has inhabited through the years—including the rural kitchen of her childhood, the kitchens of France, Greece, and Turkey, the soulless catering factories that helped pay the rent, her own kitchen at Prune, and the kitchen of her mother-in-law which bridges the gap between Hamilton's idyllic childhood and her future family.
