Celebrity chef Heston Blumenthal is a gastronomic alchemist who sees the kitchen as a laboratory where he loves to experiment with new ways to tantalize diners' taste buds. The story of his life is every bit as colorful and attention-grabbing as his famous snail porridge and bacon-and-egg ice cream. This biography traces his journey from a life-changing childhood holiday in France through to his brief apprenticeship in Raymond Blanc's restaurant, where he stood up to a kitchen bully. It follows him as - constantly pushing the boundaries of his work - he reached the top of his profession and was knighted by the Queen.

The Greek myths are amongst the greatest stories ever told, passed down through millennia and inspiring writers and artists as varied as Shakespeare, Michelangelo, James Joyce and Walt Disney. They are embedded deeply in the traditions, tales and cultural DNA of the West. You'll fall in love with Zeus, marvel at the birth of Athena, wince at Cronus and Gaia's revenge on Ouranos, weep with King Midas and hunt with the beautiful and ferocious Artemis.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,900
For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Publisher's Summary
When Marco Pierre White's mother died when he was just six years old, it transformed his life. Soon his father was urging him to earn his own keep, and by 16 he was working in his first restaurant. White went on to learn from some of the best chefs in the country, such as Albert Roux, Raymond Blanc and Pierre Koffmann.
He survived the intense pressure of hundred-hour weeks in the heat of the kitchen, developed his own style and then struck out on his own.
At Harveys in Wandsworth, which he opened in 1987, he developed a reputation as a stunning cook and a rock 'n' roll sex god of the kitchen. 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.
He eventually opened several more restaurants, won every honour going and then realised that it still wasn't enough.
Here, Marco takes the reader right into the heat of the kitchen with a sharp-edged wit and a sizzling pace that will fascinate anyone brave enough to hit "play" on this book and enter his domain.

He's not the Devil that he makes out he is!
What did you like most about The Devil in the Kitchen?
The honesty, intensity, passion and humour that runs throughout this book...
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Devil in the Kitchen?
There are several that stand out, but dealing with the great British public was his forte!
Have you listened to any of Timothy Bentinck’s other performances? How does this one compare?
At first I was not sure, but he does a very good job, in fact he was really good and his various accents were brilliant...
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, not at all as there was so much going on and I had to re-visit several times
Any additional comments?
Marco is a great character, full of energy (Well he was then) with a great sense of fun and humour as well as his determination which was manic.
If you want to be a good chef kiss goodbye to the family life...
Looking forward to his new series on TV starting this week 5/10/15...

Very enjoyable with a dash of uphimselfishness!
Thoroughly enjoyed listening to Marco's life; an extremely dilgent, devoted and dedicated man and a true ambassador to the cheffing dynasty. I fully expected it to come across as ever so slightly up itself and it didn't disappoint, but then again a bloke of this calibre is probably entitled to a it of that so congratulations to you Chef. Thanks for a great listen and for sharing, narration was superb also.

Marco is clearly a driven man and a phenomenal success story. This autobiography shows the man behind the myth and I thought it was a brilliant, if often painful, listen.

well worth a listen if you are a Fan of Marco
loved this. been a fan of Marco since he presented series 3 and 4 of Hells Kitchen UK and also watched The Great British Feast.
this book takes us back to the beginning of his life in Leeds and the journey to London. many stories in this book you wouldn't think happened when you look at the man he is today. the amount of customers he asked to leave his restaurant makes you wonder how he achieved his first Michelin Stars only because he wasn't in the kitchen cooking while he was asking people to leave. I'm sure you'll agree he had good reason!
a fantastic read. even better on Audible. Timothy bentinck does great job.
go on treat yourself with The devil in the kitchen
