Marco Pierre White

Marco Pierre White is an English chef, restaurateur, and television personality whose cooking is grounded in classical technique and the rigorous standards of professional kitchen culture. In 1995, he became both the first British chef and, at thirty-three, the youngest chef at the time to be awarded three Michelin stars. His kitchen produced a notable generation of cooks, among them Gordon Ramsay, Mario Batali, Curtis Stone, and Phil Howard. White Heat, his landmark cookbook, pairs recipes with documentary-style photography and is considered as much a record of a particular moment in British restaurant history as a practical culinary text.
