Blood, Bones & Butter: The Inadvertent Education of a Reluctant Chef

Hamilton, Gabrielle. “Blood, Bones & Butter: The Inadvertent Education of a Reluctant Chef.” (2011). This is a chef’s journey in the same general category of Anthony Bourdain’s “Kitchen Confidential” (2000) or Bill Buford’s “Heat” (2007). Before I had my current fabulous career, I was an out of work marketing / web designer and needed to make money. The latter two books were my ‘mentors’ for dealing with working in professional kitchens without any experience. I recommend all three for their insights into the world of professional chefs and food hospitality. And, of course, they all make you hungry. Haha
