As we noted in our look-ahead to this week’s big books, two chef’s memoirs hit the shelves. Each received media coverage yesterday.

Grant Achatz was interviewed on NPR’s Fresh Air about recovering from tongue cancer and his book, Life, On the Line (Gotham/Penguin). As a result, it rose to #42 (from #155) on Amazon.

Gabrielle Hamilton’s Blood, Bones and Butter (Random House), has been doing well all week (see our heavy holds alert) and is now at #18 on Amazon. The author appeared on the Today show.
