Gabrielle Hamilton (Patrick McMullan)
Gwyneth Paltrow is negotiating to star in an indie movie version of Prune chef Gabrielle Hamilton’s culinary memoir, “Blood, Bones & Butter.”
The 2011 book follows Hamilton’s eclectic background, including her childhood in rural Pennsylvania, trajectory to becoming a top New York chef, her troubled marriage and stint as a lesbian.
The Hollywood Reporter says that the project is “out to writers to adapt” the book, and is being produced by Rodrigo Teixeira, Anne Carey and Mindy Goldberg.
“Iron Man” star Paltrow has been forging a career in the kitchen in her own right, publishing the cookbook, “My Father’s Daughter,” and as the founder of lifestyle newsletter “Goop.”
Hamilton’s story, meanwhile, took some dramatic twists even after her best-selling book was published: Page Six reported last year the James Beard Foundation Award-winner was having an a secret affair with the husband of her sister, a cookbook publisher and former Saveur editor.
