Chances to see Gordon Ramsay on TV are endless -- Hell's Kitchen every Tuesday on Fox (Channel 4), various BBC America showings through the week of the British version of Kitchen Nightmares and The F Word . But it seems I can't get enough of the potty-mouthed super chef, so I added to the load by reading about him in his autobiography, Roasting in Hell's Kitchen. It's an engaging look at a complicated guy, with insights on why he's such a driven entrepreneur. The book details his desperately poor upbringing with a cruel and mostly absent father, his injury-thwarted soccer career, and what it took to build his culinary empire. He comes off as a pretty earnest and dedicated person -- much like when he's trying to save those disaster restaurant owers on Kitchen Nightmares from themselves. |

I have considered purchasing that book as I think Gordon Ramsay is such a great guy...I'm a huge fan...and I think this might just seal the deal for me. So many non-Ramsay watchers I talk to only know him as the foul-mouthed, hot-tempered guy portrayed on Fox's Hell's Kitchen. For those who haven't had an opportunity, watch him on The F Word or Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares on BBC America. He's an intensely passionate guy. Not to mention, I would love to taste everything he cooks for myself. YUM. So...I think I will go buy his autobiography!
