'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.

MEDIA REVIEWS

Magnificent... Blood, Bones & Butter is the work of an uncompromising chef and a prodigiously talented writer. I am choked with envy - Anthony Bourdain

My favourite book of the past few years, a thrilling and visceral personal memoir - Financial Times

A rhapsodic, profane, wonderful, imperfect memoir... every bit as rich and satisfying as the marrow bones the author roasts at Prune - Wall Street Journal

The food memoir of the year - Guardian

Evocative... Dazzling... Beautifully written - New York Times
