Reddit mentions of The Devil in the Kitchen: Sex, Pain, Madness, and the Making of a Great Chef

From this book: http://amzn.com/1596914971

I haven't read it yet, but our current heat wave made this pic very relevant right now ;)

Just found another interesting picture titled "Teaching a young lad called Ramsay"...

Whether it is actually better or not, that's highly debatable and according to taste. But the cuisine in London/ UK is not neglectable and has a very rich background.

One of the most influential chefs in the world such as Heston Blumenthal (which is largely inspired by Harold McGee, an American), Marco Pierre White (he partly wrote modern cuisine, also an awesome person to hear) and Michel Roux (both senior as junior) have worked their careers in the UK. Each of them have defined a part of cooking/ cuisine in their way.

Not to forget the Commonwealth as well indeed, which brought a lot to the UK.

Really been watching too much MasterChef UK/ Australia and to one of my cooking teachers who really loves to read about history/ science of food. Then again, it's awesome to hear and to know as food is a way of sharing love, express your creativity and bonds and is such an important aspect of our lives/ society/ culture.

Some books which are awesome and I also have in my collection are:

• The Fat Duck Cookbook (don't imagine creating a dish of it, it's more about the insight and the science behind the dishes as they are easily a couple of pages)
  
• On food and cooking
  
• The Devil in the Kitchen
  
• Kitchen Confidential
  
  Honestly, couldn't forget the latter of course.

I know it takes an insane amount of skill and talent to do these comp's and im not going in there thinking im going to wreck shit on my first one but still i can learn from losing and get to see what the scene is kind of like out here and meet some people
edit: Also thanks for the book recommendation have you read marco pierre white's Devil in the kitchen the guys a genius and its a really good book also any book Alinea has is worth a look at.

Hey! I haven't read (unless you count reddit) anything while high yet, but some of my favorite books are:

[Alyss Heart (trilogy)](http://www.amazon.com/Looking-Glass-Wars-Frank-Beddor/dp/0142409413/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1410302298&sr=8-3&keywords=alyss+heart(), The Devil in The Kitchen (Marco Pierre White) and Man on Wire (also, if you have't seen 'Man on Wire' I highly recommend this documentary. It is absolutely amazing and beautiful. On Netflix!)

Hope to hear some good recommendations!
