As a huge fan of Hell's Kitchen (and most any cooking competitive show), I was anxious to read this one. Some people see Ramsay as extremely mean and perhaps a bit "showy" with his antics on TV. Who's really to say what's the real truth but after reading his book, I feel as if I can see where he might be coming from now. Sure, he is a perfectionist yet, I believe he is hard on his young chefs because he wants to see them succeed and be proud. As the book begins, Gordon tells of his extremely humble beginnings, damaged relationship with his father, love for football (soccer), working his way through the food industry, his family, and finally, his rise to media fame. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and could not put it down. Overall, great revealing read.

Ramsay's a chef I love/hate.He is pretty hard on his chefs but he knows his stuff and if they can cope working with him,they'll cope anywhere,anytime with any disaster!
I'll look out for the book,thanks!
Wow, I never would have thought to read this book (I don't like to be yelled at). But it sounds like it's deeper than that. Good to know.
I love competitive cooking shows, too! But I try not to watch them too much because they make me hungry. =(
You are not similar to the expert :)
