Early life and education edit

Hamilton, born in 1966, was raised in New Hope, PA. In an interview with NPR, Hamilton said her way of eating and cooking was heavily influenced by her French mother. She said her mother didn't waste food and the family often foraged for fresh ingredients from their garden and from the forests and fields surrounding their house.[1] Hamilton attended undergraduate at Hampshire College in Amherst, MA[2] and received her MFA in creative writing from the University of Michigan.[3]

Hamilton’s sister, Melissa Hamilton (cookbook author), is also a food writer and chef. Their father owns Hamilton’s Grill Room in Erwinna, Pennsylvania.[4]

Career edit

Following a career in catering, Hamilton opened the restaurant Prune in the East Village in 1999.[5] She had no formal experience in restaurants, nor did she attend culinary school.[6] Her 30-seat restaurant garnered widespread acclaim and admiration from diners, critics and other chefs including Anthony Bourdain and Eric Ripert.[7][8][9] Prune earned a spot in the Bib Gourmand section of the Michelin's 2014 New York guide.[10] Hamilton was featured in the fourth season of the PBS show The Mind of a Chef.[11] She also appeared as a guest judge on the first season of The Taste on ABC.[12]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Hamilton published a piece in The New York Times discussing the closure of Prune and broader implications of the pandemic for the restaurant industry in the United States.[13]

Personal life edit

Hamilton was married for 10 years to Michele Fuortes, an Italian-born teacher and researcher at Weill Cornell Medical College. They had two children, Marco and Leone, and later divorced.[14][15] Hamilton is currently married to Ashley Merriman, who was her co-chef at Prune.[16]
