Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture in two or three additions, mixing with a
wooden spoon or a spatula
between additions, scraping down the sides
of the bowl as needed.
Blood, Bones & Butter follows an unconventional journey through the many kitchens Hamilton has inhabited through the years: the rural kitchen
of her childhood, where her adored mother stood over the six - burner with an oily
wooden spoon in hand; the kitchens
of France, Greece, and Turkey, where she was often fed by complete strangers and learned the essence
of hospitality; the soulless catering factories that helped pay the rent; Hamilton's own kitchen at Prune, with its many unexpected challenges; and the kitchen
of her Italian mother - in - law, who serves as the link
between Hamilton's idyllic past and her own future family - the result
of a difficult and prickly marriage that nonetheless yields rich and lasting dividends.
