I recently finished reading Gordon Ramsay's autobiography Roasting In Hell's Kitchen. It was a very compelling read and I found myself unable to put it down. There are very few books that have the ability to do this to me. Of course it was fascinating reading about a person I have nothing but the utmost admiration for. His struggles growing up and starting out in a cut throat industry are told in witty and very raw manner that give you a glimpse into a world that most of us have no idea about. We have all seen the celebrity chefs on television and have seen how glamorous they make the life of a chef to be. But after reading his story I now know that is just Hollywood's spin on it. One will not make it in that profession without grit, determination and a very thick skin. It is a must read not only for his fans or aspiring chefs but for anyone who has a love for food and a good old success story.
