Huge fan of Chef Ramsay! Love reading about his upbringing and how he became the chef and international icon he is today. After listening to the audiobook, I have unconsciously integrated some British slang in my everyday convos lol (I am from US).

My husband originally trained and worked as a chef and over the years has watched many of Gordon Ramsays shows, which in turn means I've seen them too. For some reason hubby always been fairly impressed with him, me less so, all the shouting and swearing seemed a bit unnecessary. Hubby enjoyed the book, so I thought I'd give it a go. Gorden comes across much better in print than on screen, although the swearing still exists. I know a kitchen is a pretty harsh environment to work and that the hours are very unsociable, however he takes the term workaholic to a whole new level. His story is quite interesting on the whole. Am I more impressed with him? Maybe a little. Still not sure he has his home and work life balance right, but what does come through is his passion for food.

As dearly as I revere Gordon, he can't be 5 stars, because only Diana Gabaldon is 5 stars. But I loved this book ... cringed with sadness & laughed out loud both. An excellent, revealing read.

Loved hearing his back story, it explains so much. Well worth a read/listen.
Read the book. Read the book if you are a Ramsay fan.
the book is written in the same manner as Ramsay speaks. The sound of the words is the same and he means what he says, as ever. But this is what was as expected.
What is more is that there is reflection of the man's maturity in the book, as a chef, as an employer, as a person who loves to cook, as a person in both his professional and personal life. He compares his Royal Hospital Road restaurant to a fashion house's coutre; he says that the restaurant's location decides the menu; and more.
I am a fan.

I'm a huge fan of Gordon Ramsay but this book was SO HARD to read. I love memoirs, but this one was so choppy and all over the place.
I did do a whole bookish inspired cooking vlog from it, and made beef wellington: https://youtu.be/0WN0rlZLkrQ
