Blood, Bones & Butter

Highly recommended by two friends, I eagerly added Gabrielle Hamilton's memoir to my library queue.  Her recollections growing up in a bucolic town in Pennsylvania, a place I fondly visited as a kid, echoed my own childhood.  More relatable venues as her life unfolded in New York City, Italy, and in many kitchens preparing family dinners, elaborate parties, or feasts for paying guests.  The importance of quality food and the joy of cooking are inexplicably part of my daily existence , thus I found familiarity and comfort in this sophisticated narrative.
