Humble Pie - Gordon Ramsay Reviews

To read the early part of this book, it would be easy to think that Gordon Ramsay was a shrinking violet of sorts. He was by all accounts at the mercy of a violent father and it could be fair to say his confidence was knocked due to a lack of roots - the family were continually uprooted whilst Gordon's father pursued his dream of becoming a rock ...  Read the complete review

I don't really have any reasons ...  Read the complete review
