The Devil in the Kitchen: The Autobiography

Product Information

I wish Marco well but thought this was just another retrospective of a self-absorbed, workaholic madman who achieved high culinary honors by manipulating, terrifying, insulting, abusing, and ignoring anyone who should have mattered to him (except his wife Mati, who must be a saint or the ultimate masochist). The Devil’s Kitchen gets its name from a sinister plume of steam that can be seen rising from a crack in the crags.

The devil in the kitchen by Marco Pierre White - Book Review

He decided not to, gave it all back and focused on himself, changing his life to become a restaurateur. Not only did we re-visit the most stunning Llyn Idwal that holds a special place in my heart (since we had first, literally, stumbled upon it four years ago) but we also hiked up Devil’s Kitchen and discovered Llyn y Cwn. If you haven’t read Megan Hine’s book “Mind of a Survivor” or listened to her audiobook yet – do it!In fact, the first half was one of the best autobiographies I’d read - about how a young boy from very humble beginnings started a life and built a career in the culinary scene in England. The Devil in the Kitchen is a truly entertaining book and one I read over the course of two days, because I found it hard to put down. From what I've read, classic French cooking—the kind Marco Pierre White excels in—seems filled with confections.

The Devil in the Kitchen by Marco Pierre White, James Steen

I might not commission him to lead a corporate training course on leadership skills; but I bet that even today he has the gritty pugnacious ability to inspire those who have no hope within themselves to believe that they too can take control and change their lives for the better. You just get the sense that there's a lot he's left out -- like anything that would cast him in the unflattering light he likely deserves. He eventually opened several more restaurants, won every honour going and then realised that it still wasn't enough.It’s about 650m long and 300m wide with a depth of up to 11m while about 60% of the lake is less than 3m deep. The autobiography covers Marco White’s (big name chef in Britain) life starting as a child with the early loss of his mother, through to retiring young after receiving the highest Michelin accolades possible. Although tempered with brief instances of enticing narration, the book falls very short of its potential.

When Prince Charles mistakenly believes he is French (his full name is Marco Pierre White) it is a social miscue that triggers red-faced embarrassment on the prince's part. When Marco Pierre White's mother died of a brain haemorrhage when he was just six years old, it transformed his life. Steen, a freelance journalist, lives a short stroll from what was once Harveys, with his wife Louise, and three children, Charlie, Billy, and Daisy. I come out of this read still greatly respecting the man - he’s obviously a legend in the world of chefs. The ghost of Marco's mother is a constant presence in his life, and as he recounts the ups and downs of his career you feel that inner peace is something that he's always struggled and is still struggling to find.But he was also a man who might throw you out of his restaurant, and his temper was legendary, as younger chefs such as Gordon Ramsay and Heston Blumenthal would find out when they worked for him. But while White was widely lauded for his culinary skill, it was his flamboyant temper that most frequently earned him headlines.

As a gossip columnist in the late eighties, James Steen phoned Harveys to speak with Marco Pierre White. Undeniably a difficult character, the autobiography goes some way to explaining the drive and motivations behind the man and I did wonder if a couple of therapy sessions had added to some of the more reflective and self-analytical passages. Cwm Idwal is just one area of the popular Ogwen Valley, which is banked by the Glyderau mountain range to the south and the Carneddau mountain range to the north. On the other hand, selective amnesia is often also in evidence especially when concerning business or personal relationships, although he does resist having a malicious swipe at those involved, perhaps an acknowledgment of his part in the downfalls. A Maitre d' answered the phone and ranted on in a strong French accent about how White was "a monster, a crazy man, a lunatic to work for.The first British chef (and the youngest chef anywhere) to win three Michelin stars - and also the only chef ever to give them all back - is 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. Once you reach Llyn y Cwn, you can continue your hike to Y Garn to your right or Glyder Fawr to your left.
