Jamie Confidential : The Biography Of Britain's Best-Loved Chef by
Stafford Hildred and Tim Ewbank.
Jamie Oliver just might be the most popular chef in the world. In just four frantic years, he’s gone from low-ranking pasta cook at London’s trendy River Café to a household name as the Naked Chef—a title earned by his “stripped–down” style of cooking. His boyish looks, infectious enthusiasm, and matey appeal have won him the kind of popularity usually accorded to pop stars. More than a young icon, his dynamic TV series Jamie’s Kitchen—in which he trained 15 unemployed kids to be chefs— revealed a serious individual with deep-held concerns about youth, work, and society. 641.5092 HIL

Gordon Ramsay : On Top of The World - by Neil Simpson 641.5092 SIM
Best known as the host of Fox's Hell's Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares, Gordon Ramsay is one of the most driven, successful, and irate chefs around. He has thrown Hollywood actresses out of his restaurants and is notorious for his anger, but his food has been served to numerous heads of state, and he is one of only three chefs in England whose restaurant is rated at three Michelin stars. In this illuminating work, Ramsay discusses the violent, alcoholic, absent father who died just days after the pair had been reconciled as adults; the best friend and protégé whose bizarre suicide came hours after the two had shared a final meal; the decade-long battle to save his younger brother from heroin addiction and crime; and the real reason why he has not attended the birth of any of his four children. Sometimes hilarious and frequently heartbreaking, this is Gordon Ramsay's full life, from tenements and poverty to top-notch restaurants and fame.
