What do Mario Batali, Heston Blumenthal, and Gordon Ramsay
have in common? Answer: They all survived tours of duty in
the kitchen of Marco Pierre White. In the UK, White’s
brilliant cooking and high-wattage antics have made him a
legend: the first British chef (and the youngest chef
anywhere) to win three Michelin stars, a chain-smoking,
pot-throwing, multiply married culinary genius whose fierce
devotion to food and restaurants has been the only constant
in a life of tabloid-ready turmoil. In The Devil in the
Kitchen, he tells the story of his life in food, spanning
his apprenticeship with Albert and Michel Roux, his wild
years in the bacchanal of 1980s Chelsea, his ferocious
pursuit of the highest Michelin rating, and his “retirement
career” as a hugely successful restaurateur. With cameos
from the likes of Michael Caine, Madonna, and Damien Hirst,
The Devil in the Kitchen leaves no dish unserved, relating
the backroom antics, the blood feuds, and the passion for
great food that have driven London’s greatest restaurants
for decades.
