Everyone thinks they know the real Gordon Ramsay: rude, loud, pathologically driven, stubborn as hell. Now, for the first time, the world's most famous—and infamous—chef tells the inside story of his life: his difficult childhood, his father's alcoholism and violence, his brother's heroin addiction, his short-circuited soccer career, and his fanatical pursuit of gastronomic perfection—everything that helped mold him into the culinary talent and media powerhouse that he is today. He also dishes the dirt on the rich and famous, and takes you behind the scenes of some of the great restaurants. Honest, outrageous, and intensely personal, Roasting in Hell's Kitchen will not only change your perception of Gordon Ramsay but that of the cutthroat world of haute cuisine as well. |

Written on June 16, 2008 Summary: Honest from the Heart This is a very quick read from Gordon Ramsey. I think the media exaggerates and feeds preconceived ideas into people's minds about what this man is about. The book really hits some high notes about where Gordon Ramsey is coming from. When he appears on tv yelling and pissed off at someone, it is usually because he sees their potential and that is his way of bringing it out of the person. Surprisingly easy to read, the book gives insight on his past and just what makes him the man he is today. Definitely worth a read. I read through it pretty much through 2 sittings and found new respect for this man.  Written on May 20, 2008 Summary: A Tell-All Worth Believing There's a kind of breathlessness about this wonderful autobiography, a sort of "I gotta tell this story, get it all out, and say it right." that carried me almost non-stop through it. This is no polished work edited to smithereens, it's raw, real, moving, and a lesson in how one climbs over the debris of a rotten childhood one step at a time and makes it thru commitment and hard work and dedication to a chosen profession. I first saw Ramsay in his "Kitchen Nightmares" on BBC America. Having cut my teeth on Bourdain's "Kitchen Confidential", I had the advantage of not being all that shocked at the ghastly mess some of these professional restaurant kitchens are in and could focus on his approach to trying to help the restaurant of the moment start to get back on its feet. It was his passion and skill and kindness to the youngest employees and selected others of the staff and the frequent humour around his eyes that grabbed me. The cussing and the yelling were just a reflection of his passion, and I could have cared less if they were appropriate. And "The F-Word" reveals other aspects of his character that start to share a fuller picture of who this man is - the jokester (e.g.,the wine-tasting test with the guy who couldn't even identify his own wines), the boss in his own kitchen, the father of those marvelously smart, funny, giggly, balanced little children, the cook with those wonderfully simple elegant recipes that we can indeed make at home, etc. etc. etc. So buy the book and settle in for a good read - there's still a lot of Ramsay one can learn about by doing so. He may not particularly care for being an example (I read it as "Quit yer whinin' and dig in and get to work.") but he's stuck with it now. Thanks, Mr. Ramsay. :) Written on April 19, 2008 Summary: Pretty good This was a good book. It was simply written in Gordons style. I liked it. Written on April 9, 2008 Summary: short and sweet If you thought you knew Gordon Ramsay, read this book and discover the real Gordon! He is not the guy on Hell's Kitchen but a smart, sensitive, scrapper who climbed his way out of an Oliver Twist like hell. Talk about passion, he defines passion. Another thing, this book is clearly written from the heart. He states things as they were without pity for himself. What a dad he had! Written on April 5, 2008 Summary: very Good Book i dig watching Gordon Ramsey. His shows are full of Knowledge and will seperate your funny bones from laughing so hard. this Book follows him through a whole lot of challenges over the years and it also showcases his driven will at doing what he does best. this Book is very detailed and a must read. the Man is a Hard worker and he covers so much territory. |
