Book: Humble Pie


`Humble Pie' goes into some details about celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, his childhood and relationship with his Father; his short career in football; his relationship with his brother, who is a heroin addict; his early days as a commi in France and in Marco Pierre White's kitchen and how he has developed his current restaurants and nurtured the careers of other young chefs. This was a great book and it really captures his distinctive voice. Though I feel like I know him better and where he is coming from more on the TV, he is still a bit of a prick! Not a bad read though.
