A summer read!

A few years ago Drew treated me to a Valentine's Day dinner at Prune, Gabrielle Hamilton's East Village, New York City restaurant. It is officially the best meal I've ever had. Chef Hamilton isn't a trained chef, she just learned a lot from traveling and working in restaurants all over the world. This is her new book, I'm really wanting it!

"Magnificent. Simply the best memoir by a chef ever. Ever."

—Anthony Bourdain

"I will read this book to my children and then burn all the books I have written for pretending to be anything even close to this."

—Mario Batali

"Gabrielle Hamilton approaches storytelling the same way she does cooking—with thoughtful creativity that delights the senses."
—Daniel Boulud
