I have setup a chef server and nodes. Now I want to run my cook book on a specific node. Is there a way to run a custom made cook book on a node using chef-dk without bootstrapping?

No, Chef requires a local agent program called chef-client (or sometimes chef-solo but that is only for advanced usage). You can install this agent however you like, knife bootstrap is one option but you could bake it into your base OS image if you prefer.

I have bootstrapped using knife and all the nodes have chef-client installed. Is there any way to run a cookbook in a node from my PC? – lpsandaruwan May 04 '16 at 07:16

1`knife ssh` is the usual tool, though for a single machine it doesn't get you much :) – coderanger May 04 '16 at 08:17
