Book Reviews of Roasting in Hell's Kitchen: Temper Tantrums, F Words, and the Pursuit of Perfection
Book Review: TV distorts our view...Gives new light on Ramsay's "life"
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a good read, however it does jump around a bit. The tonelity and language assure it is his words, in terms of how he comes off on television, but what this book is really about are the experiences he went through as a child to becoming a Celebrity Chef, which are remarkable. This book is an easy read, although perhaps having a good understanding of cooking and the culinary profession may enhance the read, anyone might love it. His story is inspirational.

Summary of Roasting in Hell's Kitchen: Temper Tantrums, F Words, and the Pursuit of Perfection
Everyone thinks they know the real Gordon Ramsay: rude, loud, pathologically driven, and 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; 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.Memoirs Books
