Product Description:


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.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Interesting insight into Gordon's childhood and growing up
I enjoyed this book quite a bit, it was a quick read, with just a few pages that I skimmed over because they were sort of irrelevant (the listing out of soccer matches got boring quickly).

I definitely felt for Gordon when reading about his incredibly crappy childhood and adolescence. I giggled when I read about him shagging a restaurant owner's wife when he was 19.

He definitely has had an interesting life. I think this book puts a more human face on his persona.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great book
I don't have a lot of time to read so I haven't read more than 3 books in the last 5 years. I got this book from the library and read the whole thing in 1 day! Which for me, is unbelievable. I just couldn't put it down. What a story. It is definitely worth a read if you like Ramsay. I love him even more now that I know where he has come from and what has made him the way he is. He has had a very interesting and very hard life. He is an inspiration. I thought I worked hard, I seem lazy compared to ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great Read
I have to admit; I'm not much of a reader. I tend to read books in order to learn something, rather than reading fiction or autobiographies.

I discovered Gordon Ramsey quite by accident. I saw clips of him on The Soup doing Hell's Kitchen, and I thought it looked interesting. So then I watched him on Hell's Kitchen, and later on Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares (both the US and British version), and really enjoyed the shows. Hell's Kitchen was along the lines of the Apprentice. And Nightmares ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Change the way you view Gordon!
One of the many complaints about Gordon Ramsay is his harshness. Many people I know dislike him because of his treatment and apparent belittlement of his contestants on Hell's Kitchen. (Season 1 now available on DVD - Hell's Kitchen: Season 1)

Read this book and you will have that feeling no more.

The best attribute of this book for me was reading about all of his life experiences and to see how they shaped who he is today. It really becomes evident when you watch him on television. ... Read More
