An exhilarating memoir from the original bad boy of cooking and a thrilling look behind the doors of a 3-star kitchen.

Without question, the original rock-star chef is Marco Pierre White. Anyone with even a passing interest in the food world knows White is a legend. 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 culinary genius whose fierce devotion to food has been the only constant throughout a life of tabloid-ready turmoil.

In THE DEVIL IN THE KITCHEN, White tells the story behind his ascent from working-class roots to culinary greatness, leaving no dish unserved as he relays raucous and revealing tales featuring some of the biggest names in the food world and beyond, including Mario Batali, Gordon Ramsay, Albert Roux, Raymond Blanc, Michael Caine, Damien Hirst, and even Prince Charles.

With searing honesty and wicked humor, he gives us insight into how one becomes a great chef, what it's like to run a 3-star kitchen, and why, sometimes, you really do need to throw a cheese plate at the wall.
