Biography

Early years

His father was, at various times, a swimming baths manager, welder, shopkeeper, and aspiring country and western singer, and his mother was a trained nurse. Country music is a blend of popular musical forms originally found in the Southern United States and the Appalachian Mountains. [2] Ramsay has described his early life as "hopelessly itinerant", as his family moved constantly due to the aspirations and failures of his father. In 1976, they finally settled in Stratford-upon-Avon. Stratford-upon-Avon (ˌstrætfɚd əpɒn ˈɛɪvən is a Market town and Civil parish in south Warwickshire, England. In past public interviews, Ramsay has declined to describe his father as an alcoholic; however, his autobiography, Humble Pie,[2] describes his early life as being marked by abuse and negligence from this "hard-drinking womanizer". [2][3] At the age of 16, Ramsay moved out of the family house to a council flat with his elder sister. The council house is a form of public or social housing in the United Kingdom. Ramsay played football (soccer) as well, was first chosen to play under-14 football at age 11, and was chosen to play for Warwickshire at age 12. Association football, more commonly known as football or soccer, is a Team sport played between two teams of eleven players and is widely considered Geography Warwickshire is bounded to the northwest by the West Midlands Metropolitan county and Staffordshire, by Leicestershire to His football career was marked by a number of injuries, causing him to remark later in life, "Perhaps I was doomed when it came to football". [2] In the summer of 1984, Ramsay was being actively scouted by Scottish club, Rangers, the club he supported as a boy,[4] when he seriously injured his knee, smashing the cartilage during training. Rangers Football Club are an Association football team based in Glasgow Scotland, who currently play in the Scottish Premier League. [5] Ramsay continued to train and play on the injured knee, tearing a cruciate ligament during a squash game. He never fully recovered from the double injury and was told by Rangers that he would not be signed, suggesting that he could sign with a club in a lower division. By this time, Ramsay's interest in cooking had already begun, and he chose to take on this new challenge, rather than be known as "the football player with the gammy knee". [2] After weighing his options, without enough O levels to join either the Royal Navy or the police force, Ramsay enrolled at a local college, sponsored by the Rotarians to study Hotel Management. The O-level (Ordinary Level is a subject-based qualification conferred as part of the General Certificate of Education (GCE The Royal Navy of the United Kingdom is the oldest of the British armed services (and is therefore known as the Senior Service) Police are agents or agencies usually of the executive, empowered to enforce the law and to effect public and social order through the legitimatized use of force Rotary International is an organization of Service clubs known as Rotary Clubs located all over the world He describes his decision to enter catering college as "an accident, a complete accident". [2] (In September 2005, Ramsay expressed an interest in moving into football again as an owner with the proposed takeover of Greenock Morton football club. Greenock Morton Football Club are a football team who currently play in the Irn-Bru sponsored Scottish Football League First Division. [6])

After his professional football career came to an end at age 19, Ramsay paid more serious attention to his culinary education. In the late 1980s, he worked as a commis chef at the Roxbury House Hotel, then ran the kitchen and 60-seat dining room at the Wickham Arms, until his relationship with the owner's wife made the situation difficult. A chef is a person who cooks professionally In a professional kitchen setting the term is used only for the one person in charge of everyone else in the kitchen the executive [2] Ramsay then moved to London, where he worked in a series of restaurants until being inspired to work for the temperamental Marco Pierre White at Harveys. London ( ˈlʌndən is the capital and largest urban area in the United Kingdom. Marco Pierre White (born 11 December 1961 is an English Chef and restaurateur. [2]

After working at Harveys for two years and ten months, Ramsay, tired of "the rages and the bullying and violence", decided that the way to further advance his career was to study French cuisine. French cuisine is a style of cooking derived from the nation of France. White discouraged Ramsay from taking a job in Paris, instead encouraging him to work for Albert Roux at Le Gavroche in Mayfair. Paris (ˈpærɨs in English; in French) is the Capital of France and the country's largest city Albert Roux (born October 8, 1935) is a French-born restaurateur working in Britain Le Gavroche is a Restaurant on 43 Upper Brook Street in Mayfair ( London England) Mayfair is an area of central London, England, within the City of Westminster. (While at Le Gavroche, he met Jean-Claude Breton, now his Maître D' at Royal Hospital Road. The maître d' (short for maître d'hôtel literally "master of the hotel" in a suitably staffed Restaurant or Hotel is the person ) After working at Le Gavroche for a year, Albert Roux invited Ramsay to work with him at Hotel Diva, a ski-resort in the French Alps, as his number two. The French Alps are those parts of the Alps mountain range which lie in France. From there, Ramsay moved to Paris to work with Guy Savoy and Joël Robuchon, both Michelin-starred chefs. Paris (ˈpærɨs in English; in French) is the Capital of France and the country's largest city Guy Savoy is a well known French chef and is the Head Chef and owner of the eponymous Guy Savoy restaurant in Paris and sister restaurant in Las Vegas.

The restaurant was renamed Aubergine and went on to win its first Michelin star fourteen months later. The Michelin Guide ( Le Guide Michelin) is a series of annual Guide books published by Michelin for over a dozen countries In 1997, Aubergine won its second Michelin star. Despite the restaurant's success, a dispute with Ramsay's business owners led to his leaving the partnership in 1997. [2] In 1998, Ramsay opened his own restaurant in Chelsea, Gordon Ramsay at Royal Hospital Road, with the help of his father-in-law, Chris Hutcheson. The restaurant gained its third Michelin star in 2001, making Ramsay the first Scot to achieve that feat. [7]

Public image and reception

Personality

Ramsay's reputation is built upon his goal of culinary perfection. [30] Since the airing of Boiling Point which followed Ramsay's quest of earning three Michelin stars, the chef has also become infamous for his fiery temperament and use of expletives.

Vegetarianism is the practice of a diet that excludes Meat (including game and slaughter by-products Fish (including Shellfish and other sea But you can see why so many people change instantly.

She subsequently served the meat from a private property, garnering the approval of most of the consumers shown in the programme. The conclusion of both Street-Porter and Ramsay was that horse meat merited a more prominent place in Britain's national diet. In the wake of the stunt, representatives of animal rights group PETA protested by dumping a tonne of horse manure outside Ramsay's restaurant at Claridge's in central London. Manure is Organic matter used as Organic fertilizer in Agriculture. [43]
