I'm a sucker for chef bios, and I loved Ramsay in 'Hell's Kitchen'. The book wasn't particularly well-written, I thought, but I enjoyed the story. it was very raw and genuine. The sort of book that makes me glad I didn't opt to be a chef. Interesting. ( )

Gordon Ramsay is not a great writer but he does manage to write well enough to convey the essence of his puppy rotweiller personality movingly and his story - Glasgow abused child to billionaire chef -is an inspiring one. The cusine ladder he climbs to achieve his aim is fascinating and takes you from London, to Paris, to West Indies. The deals are mafia cum Dragons Den. I found it very genuine especially the section on the inadequacies he feels in coping with his junkie brother and how it feels like history repeating itself.

Just wish he would stop fucking swearing all the time in the book. I can just about allow it in the pressure of a busy kitchen in a reality TV show but in a book!! Not cool. Not clever. ( )

It considered it a good read, not because it was such a good book, but because it gave me a good background on Gordon Ramsay. And this is what biographies should do. It was written in a style which you can expect from the master chef with the F-word on his "toque" :-). ( )
