Description
British food was never renowned for its flair and inventiveness until the 1980s when Marco Pierre White led an extraordinary revolution in British cuisine. Passionate and unpredictable, he inspired many of the top chefs in Britain today. In this insightful book, Simon Wright exposes the revolution for what it was and shows how the passionate idealism of the early years has been compromised. He travels inside the brotherhood of chefs and tells the very distinct tales of Gordon Ramsay, Heston Blumenthal, Shaun Hill, and Marcus Wareing—four men who have risen through the vicious climate of the kitchen to make a special mark. Theirs is an elite band, tough to join, and these are the stories of how they qualified for membership.

I just finished reading this a few seconds ago. I couldn't wait to write a review, although, normally if I can't wait to write a review, it's because I loved the book.The huge problem with this book is the various voices. Sometimes it's one of the four features chefs talking. Other times, it's Simon Wright. The problem is that you have to read and re-read to figure that out. Pronoun hell!Wright seems to think that an illustration of 3 stars is enough to alert the reader of a change in voice. It isn't; mostly because even after the annoying 3 star graphic, there's still more than one voice.To its credit, the four chef stories are engaging. I love chef bios, which is why I ordered the book.The worst partoif the book are the stories of Wright's experiences as a food critic. Who cares? And the ultimate slap is his story, at the end, of his time in the kitchen. Do we care? No.I almost feel like his writing was ego driven; a need to be in the same book as these four heavy weight chefs. Spare us!This book should have been written in a very straight forward fashion-- 4 biographies of 4 notable men. Period.
