BOOK REVIEWS: This Chef Is One Hot Potato; Humble Pie, My Autobiography by Gordon Ramsay, Pounds 18.99, Harper Collins

Byline: Reviewed by Sarah Probert

He is loud, rude and has reduced many a timid comi chef to tears.

But inside Gordon Ramsay's tough exterior there is a sensitive, caring man just fighting to get out.

This is what we are led to believe in the Michelin-starred chef's autobiography which lands on the shelves alongside a myriad other celebrity stories this month.

Ramsay must jostle with the likes of Billie Piper, Radio 1 D J Chris Moyles and Griff Rhys Jones in the autobiography stakes.

But this book is certainly a worthy contender for those who are intrigued by Ramsay's success, gruff exterior and, believe it or not, his sex appeal.
