From gritty grill cooks in backwoods diners to the executive chefs at the worlds most popular restaurants, its hard to find a cook who doesnt sport some ink. Knives & Ink features the tattoos of more than sixtyfive chefs from all walks of life and every kind of kitchen, including 2014 James Beard Awardwinner Jamie Bissonnette, Alaskafishingboat cook Mandy Lamb, Toro Bravos 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 twostarred 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.
