"As a chef, getting a tattoo is a right of passage. Maybe they cover the scars of painful burns; maybe they express the endless hours in a hot kitchen working at an insane pace. Or perhaps they are a further expression of the edible art that chefs create. The newly-released Eat Ink: Recipes. Stories. Tattoos goes beyond just food to explore the tattoos of acclaimed chefs.   The concept of the book may seem strange at first, but a glance through makes it clear that it&amp;#039;s easy enough to jump from admiring the chefs&amp;#039; bodywork art to their edible art. Here are some of the standouts featured in the book: Jesse Schenkr (Chef and owner of the acclaimed NYC restaurant Recette and Iron Chef winner): Jesse displays the elbow to wrist knife tattoo on his left arm and gives us a drool-worthy recipe for roasted red snapper with corn puree, rock shrimp, and lobster butter. Lish Steiling (Assistant food stylist for The Today Show): Lish shows off her beautifully drawn black line tattoos of carrots and beets and shares her Roasted Parsnip and Kale Salad. Sean Hawes (Sous-chef at Poquitos, Seattle): Sean has a tattoo on his right forearm displaying his hometown pride in the form of the Seattle skyline. Duff Goldman (Star of Food Network&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;Ace of Cakes&amp;quot; and owner of Charm City Cakes): Duff shows off his tattoo of a whisk on his upper left arm and provides a recipe for Pineapple Hummingbird Cake. Lisa Higgins (Chef and owner of Sweetpea Baking Co.): Lisa&amp;#039;s first bakery was next door to a tattoo parlor. She started with a tattoo of a small falling star and is now covered with vegetables, pastries, and more, plus the words &amp;quot;sink&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;swim&amp;quot; on her knuckles. Her recipe is for an amazing vanilla cinnamon coffee cake.
