You will understand Gordon a whole lot more after reading this book. Why he joined football aka soccer to start with, why he got into cooking (this was kind of shocking really to learn why) how horrible family life was to him, and what has driven him to this day to be the best of the best.
It's an amazing story and you'll never look at Gordon the same again (especially when you watch him on Hell's Kitchen..which when you read the book..you will find out has been signed on for 5 seasons! Two more seasons left!!)

Lovely !
I rarely read a biography almost impossible to put down. There is an honest way of writing there and you will learn about Gordon as a child until now and you really will understand what drove him to the top and keeps him reaching higher.
I now understand his temper and why he sometimes is the chef he is. There is a man that climbed from washing the dishes up to a multi millionaire. Worked his ass literally off in the worlds most famous kitchens, treated like a piece of you know what. The man is adorable inside and outside.

What a great deal he has overcome! A wonderful telling of a rags to riches life that started with a horrible childhood. He has overcome so much to become who he is today. I feel I now more fully understand why he seeks perfection in all those he comes in contact with - why he is driven to succeed and wants all around him to succeed also.

i love watching kitchen nightmares and hell's kitchen and find chef ramsay fascinating, so i was really interested in reading this.
in this book chef ramsay talks about his beginnings- and wow what a tale it is. he literally pulled himself up out of a family home of abuse and drugs and made himself a star.
he loved football (soccer) and that was his dream, until he was injured. so he began working in the kitchen to escape his horrible family life. he really worked his "arse" off and earned all of the accolades he's received.
i'd definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys him or wonders why he is so harsh and a tad crazy on his shows. his passion is real and comes from within.

Surprisingly bland autobiography of Gordon, plenty of spicy language, but none of the passion and verve of, say, a Tony Bourdain book.

I love Gordon Ramsay. He has a real passion for life and it shows in his writing and everything he does.

I didn't like this book at all as it strayed from its title, "Roasting in Hell's Kitchen". Of over 270 pages, less than 12 pages were regarding Hell's Kitchen". After reading the entire book, I find Gordon Ramsey to be an egotistical, obnoxious bully and would never eat at one of his restaurant's!
