"It's challenging enough to be a good chef, but to be a fine writer as well is an even more remarkable feat. Gabrielle Hamilton approaches storytelling the same way she does cooking - with thoughtful creativity that delights the senses. The stories she tells here are every bit as enjoyable as the wonderful food she cooks daily at [Prune][1]." - Daniel Boulud [1]: http://www.prunerestaurant.com/
