i just finished humble pie by UK celebrity chef gordon ramsay. he is probably best know in the US for the reality show hell’s kitchen. i can’t believe i missed that one considering how much i like those type of reality shows and cooking shows. however, i have been watching the f word on bbc america which is another one of his shows and i love it. he is known as an obnoxious asshole. but really, he has had a hard life. he came from nothing and made something amazing himself. he could have been another statistic – like his brother who ended up a heroin addict. his story is amazing and he is really an inspiration for everyone.

I just bought this today in Easons. Luckily I didn’t have any money with me to buy it last week as the price of it has gone down again and I got it for a cracking 13.99 :) I’m only a few pages in but just from reading inside the cover, I never realised what a story he has to tell. I never stopped to think of his background or how he was brought up but he’s certainly got a lot to talk about. I’ll fill you in when I get a bit further :)
