Gordon Ramsay - The Biography

He has changed the way Britain eats, cooked for prime ministers, thrown Hollywood actresses out of his restaurants, won Michelin stars and Bafta awards - and is on record for swearing more times in a single hour of prime time television than anyone else in the history of British broadcasting. Gordon Ramsay is the most outspoken and talented chef of his generation. A multi-millionaire by the time he was 30, Gordon is as ambitious today as he was as a teenager. A professional footballer, playing for Glasgow Rangers at the age of 18, he went from the football field to the kitchen where he is now as famous for his four letter words as his four course meals. He juggles 18-hour days in his restaurant kitchen with his other life as a devoted dad and husband - and nothing is off limits when he talks! Sometimes hilariuos and frequently heart-breaking, Gordon Ramsay's life story runs from the council estates of Glasgow and the picture post-card countryside of Stratford-upon-Avon to some of the finest and most expensive restaurants in the world. In this detailed and intimate biography, Neil Simpson uncovers the secret tragedies that turned Gordon Ramsay into one of the most driven, successful and angry men in Britain today.
