Knives & Ink: Chefs and the Stories Behind Their Tattoos (with Recipes)

Description

From the authors of Pen & Ink–New York Times bestselling illustrator Wendy
MacNaughton and BuzzFeed books editor Isaac Fitzgerald–the stories behind the
tattoos that chefs proudly wear, with their signature recipes. Winner of the
International Association of Culinary Professionals [IACP] Cookbook Design
Award. Chefs take their tattoos almost as seriously as their knives. From
gritty grill cooks in backwoods diners to the executive chefs at the world’s
most popular restaurants, it’s hard to find a cook who doesn’t sport some ink.
Knives & Ink features the tattoos of more than sixty-five chefs from all walks
of life and every kind of kitchen, including 2014 James Beard Award-winner
Jamie Bissonnette, Alaska-fishing-boat cook Mandy Lamb, Toro Bravo’s John
Gorham, and many more. Each tattoo has a rich, personal story behind it: Danny
Bowien of Mission Chinese Food remembers his mother with fiery angel wings on
his forearms, and Dominique Crenn of Michelin two-starred Atelier Crenn bears
ink that reminds her to do “anything in life that you put your heart into.”
Like the dishes these chefs have crafted over the years, these tattoos are
beautiful works of art. Knives & Ink delves into the wide and wonderful world
of chef tattoos and shares their fascinating backstories, along with personal
recipes from many of the chefs. Read more
