About this listen

Everyone thinks they know the real Gordon Ramsay: rude, loud, pathologically driven, stubborn as hell. But this is his real story…

This is Gordon Ramsay’s autobiography – the first time he has told the full story of how he became the world’s most famous and infamous chef: his difficult childhood, his brother’s heroin addiction and his failed first career as a footballer: all of these things have made him the celebrated culinary talent and media powerhouse that he is today. Gordon talks frankly about:

  • his tough childhood: his father’s alcoholism and violence and the effects on his relationships with his mother and siblings
  • his first career as a footballer: how the whole family moved to Scotland when he was signed by Glasgow Rangers at the age of fifteen, and how he coped when his career was over due to injury just three years later
  • his brother’s heroin addiction.
  • Gordon’s early career: learning his trade in Paris and London; how his career developed from there: his time in Paris under Albert Roux and his seven Michelin-starred restaurants.
  • kitchen life: Gordon spills the beans about life behind the kitchen door, and how a restaurant kitchen is run in Anthony Bourdain-style.
  • and how he copes with the impact of fame on himself and his family: his television career, the rapacious tabloids, and his own drive for success.

Enjoyable

I really enjoyed listening about the life of Gordon Ramsay told by Gordon Ramsay. I did not like that it was abridged... I want more detail.

Gordon Ramsay Audible His Voice His Words

There's one thing that just annoys me and it's the music... i'm exhausted I like to listen to audible at night and I appreciate that Chef Gordon Ramsay is talking very softly which is great when you're trying to fall asleep but there is music at the beginning of the chapter and at the end of the book and when you're exhausted trying to relax and listen to someone speak softly hearing that music is just jarring.

Otherwise I thought it was good... he sounds like he's being really honest and barring his soul but I'm not sure because one I fall asleep and two you never never now. They are very moving insights about how poor he was and how he still keeps his first set of knives and whites.

Remember I'm exhausted out of my mind tired that's why the music really bugs me but when I am awake and hear the story it's very moving he's a fighter and a winner great combination.

On TV Gordon's often seen taking off his shirt and show off his chest but here he bare's some soul

Invited il

We all know Gordon Ramsey, but like many others you don't realize the struggles that people go through to get to where they are. This is a good book that I would recommend.

Coming from a Cook

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Anyone whom has worked in our industry gets it. This is a greats story about an excellent Chef and troubles growing up, and discovering his true passion in life. Worth the read especially if you've been there.

Not what I expected

Would you consider the audio edition of Humble Pie to be better than the print version?

Not me. I had a bit of a hard time coping with Ramsay's accent,

Who was your favorite character and why?

Ramsay, of course.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Gordon Ramsay?

Probably not. He speaks too fast and with an odd accent.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No

Any additional comments?

I thought he kept much of his personal life to himself and share with us, readers, mostly his failures and sucesses in his professional carreer. I don't know how much a man that works as mich as he does have of a personal life, but I bet there must be some!I bought the book because I wanted to know more of who he is rather than how he works.

It was...ok

I liked it, and it was worth listening to, but I feel it fell short.

Humble Ramsay

A candid look into the early years of Gordon Ramsay. This was a great listen narrated by the author. Fingers are crossed for an Unabridged version.

I wanted more

This book was incredible! Chef Ramsey read it perfectly. I never thought that chef was a bad and mean guy. I knew he was tough and this book was just a great way to prove that he is great. I wish I could meet him I have so much respect for him. This is a must read or listen.
