Nigella Lawson recommended Blood, Bones and Butter in Books (curated)

 
Blood, Bones and Butter
Blood, Bones and Butter
Gabrielle Hamilton | 2012 | Food & Drink

Book Favorite

"It would be a mistake to think that this memoir by Gabrielle Hamilton, chef proprietor of Prune, is solely for those interested in food. It is one of the most searingly honest autobiographies I have read: it is the story of a woman struggling to find her place in the world, the story of a lost childhood and a recovered self. This is no self-pitying misery memoir: it’s full of grit and passion, combining vigor with sensitivity, and I am as hungry for her words as I am for her food."

This is a memoir about a woman's addiction to porn and sex. It is well written, raw, and honest. I commend her for talking about something viewed as taboo. If she writes anything else I would be interested in reading it.

"This is about the incredible life of a creative free spirit who followed her dreams and set in motion a fashion career that’s lasted five decades and counting. This memoir is dishy without being vindictive, and inspirational without being preachy."
