 Change the way you view Gordon! August 27, 2008

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. If you think he is harsh to the Hell's Kitchen contestants, listen to what happened to him working for Joel Robuchon and Marco Pierre White. Incredible.
Not only do you feel for him because of his situations with his family, but you really develop a full-blown respect for him. He was, is and always will be a very classy and mature man.
His narrative just sails you through this book. It is quite a wonderful story to read. You will love the stories that you read. It will change the way you look at Gordon forever!
 Get into his mind August 1, 2008
Ok so I am a Chef and I love this book. If you are a fan of hells kitchen, and I was until the second season, you will enjoy reading this. It goes into why he became a chef and why he gets so upset on the show, other than the paid for dramatics. If you are thinking of auditioning then I would suggest reading this book first -M

I was floored when I read this book. I've always been intrigued by Ramsay because of his shows and his management style (and, of course, his mouth). He says what everyone wishes they could say -- not a single filter -- and gets away with it.
What you get in this memoir is a deep understanding of how to excel at your job -- be passionate about what you do, commit to what you do and then, simply, do it with conviction.
Ramsay is to cooking what Tiger Woods is to golf -- a unique and talented guy who brings unbelievable attention from the non-culinary crowd to his business.
Well written July 19, 2008
I found this book to be well written and entertaining. It gives a different perspective of Gordon Ramsay than what most people think. I found it hard to put down, I wanted to keep finding out more about his journey to become such an outstanding chef.

This book grabs you from page 1. Anyone who thinks they know Gordon Ramsay -- even after watching him on TV -- will be taken aback by what they read. Here is a climb from despair, through mine fields of restaurant kitchens, to the heights of fame and fortune.
