“Humble Pie” an autobiography by Gordon Ramsey
As part of my absolute love for the work and person of Gordon Ramsey, I found this book at a used book store and was enthralled to read, and now review, it.
This book provided a very easy-to-read overview of the beginnings of the life of Gordon Ramsey, the world renowned chef. It glossed over his family life as a child, growing up in a large family with an abusive father as well as many of his starting places as a chef. Gordon's story continued to the writing of the book in 2008, but gave less details the closer the story got to present time.
I had so much for with this book. Although I was terribly disappointment by its shortness and general lack of detail, it provided good insight on "Gordon, the early years". The humility with which Sir Ramsay approaches both his life and his cooking still shocks me. It made me giggle the brashness that he writes with as well as his word choices; he writes just like he talks. Ultimately, this short read was a great read to see how Gordon Ramsay's life began.
