“COPIA Presents: The Devil in the Kitchen”

May 7th, 2007

“Meet Chef Marco Pierre White, whom Anthony Bourdain credits with “founding the modern school of bad-boy cooking.”  You know the type: short-tempered but utterly brilliant “rock ‘n’ roll” chefs known for making delicious food and causing serious trouble, like Mario Batali and Gordon Ramsay.   But before these two filmed their first demo or cussed out their first busboy, they studied with the original master: Chef White.  A cultural icon in the U.K. and a legend among foodies everywhere, Chef White is the most decorated chef in English history and the youngest ever to win three Michelin stars.   In his book The Devil in the Kitchen: Sex, Pain, Madness and the Making of a Great Chef (Bloomsbury), he tells what it takes to become a great chef and why you sometimes really do need to throw a cheese plate at the wall.”
