Long Synopsis:
Everyone thinks they know the real Gordon Ramsay: rude, loud, pathologically
driven, stubborn as hell. But this is his real story. This is Gordon Ramsay's
autobiography - the first time he has told the full story of how he became the
world's most famous and infamous chef: his difficult childhood, his brother's
heroin addiction and his failed first career as a footballer: all of these
things have made him the celebrated culinary talent and media powerhouse that
he is today. Gordon talks frankly about: . his tough childhood: his father's
alcoholism and violence and the effects on his relationships with his mother
and siblings . his first career as a footballer: how the whole family moved to
Scotland when he was signed by Glasgow Rangers at the age of fifteen, and how
he coped when his career was over due to injury just three years later . his
brother's heroin addiction. . Gordon's early career: learning his trade in
Paris and London; how his career developed from there: his time in Paris under
Albert Roux and his seven Michelin-starred restaurants. . kitchen life: Gordon
spills the beans about life behind the kitchen door, and how a restaurant
kitchen is run in Anthony Bourdain-style. . and how he copes with the impact of
fame on himself and his family: his television career, the rapacious tabloids,
and his own drive for success.
Comments:
Has been read through but could benefit from another reading. Ramsay does use a
lot of two or three words that some find offensive. The chapters are titled on
a page with just that on the page. There is blank pageson either side of the
chapter title. There are color plates with captions I am not sure if they are
incorporated into the page numbering or what have you. Contact me if you have
any questions. juddysbuddy@xxxxxxxxxxxx
