The highly anticipated autobiography of the iconic "bad boy" of the kitchen - Marco Pierre White.

When Marco Pierre White's mother died when he was just six years old, his life changed drastically. Soon, his father encouraged him to earn a living, and by sixteen, he was working at his first restaurant. White learned alongside some of the country's best chefs, such as Albert Roux, Raymond Blanc, and Pierre Koffmann. He endured the intense pressure of 100-hour weeks in the hot kitchen environment, developed his own style, and then unleashed his creativity.

At Harveys in Wandsworth, which opened in 1987, he developed a reputation as a remarkable chef and "the rock-and-roll god" of the kitchen. However, he was also a man who could throw you out of his restaurant, while his explosive temper was legendary, as younger chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Heston Blumenthal would discover while working for him. He eventually announced additional restaurants, won every honor, and then realized that even that wasn't enough. In this book, Marco takes the reader straight into the fire of the kitchen with sharp humor and a tight rhythm that will captivate anyone daring to open the pages of this book and enter his world.
