Marco Pierre White: The Devil in the Kitchen
I just finished reading Marco Pierre White’s The Devil in the Kitchen: Sex, Pain, Madness, and the Making of a Great Chef.
It’s a great autobiography; you get to see what White thinks of as the high points and low points of his life, but you strangely see very little in between. A strong sense of his youthful narrow hyperactive focus comes through, and the book ends when he’s in a pretty good place.
I’m both a little relieved and a little bummed to have finished it. Since I have less than half an hour a night to read this sort of thing (and often only about 10 minutes), it took me a couple of weeks to finish it. I feel like I’ve been in a whirlwind romance and we’ve figured out that we’re not good for each other, but I’ll really miss him.
Cheers Marco, and thanks a lot. I’ve had less fulfilling two-week relationships.
