    Everyone thinks they know the real Gordon Ramsay: rude, loud, pathologically driven, stubborn as hell. But this is his bestselling real story… Humble Pie tells 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. • 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.

    “I wanted it all, or I wanted nothing.”

    From a horrible childhood and hard family issues, to Michelin-starred chef and famous tv series, people don’t always grasp the whole Gordon Ramsay and how he overcame struggles with a relentless hunger that helped him become an encyclopedia on how to run a kitchen. This book also helps to understand how the culture of great kitchens evolved, how countless dedicated hours, hard work, persistence and passion can lead to some level of perfection in the culinary industry and how important are the standards, the whole package, not only the food, at restaurants. In Gordon’s words: the kitchen is almost like a studio – a place for an artist to work. For enthusiasts that wish to enter this business, it is required to have a feeling for food, a true love and understanding of it, also, learn how to not be intimidated by ingredients when making a dish with flair and instinct. It’s all about finesse and skill. The beauty in this subject and I quote Neil Tyson, is: The fact that we spend hundreds of dollars in plates means we can raise our sense of culinary satisfaction to extremely high levels which garners an entire fraction of society investment in bringing pleasure to our senses.
