Once in a blue moon a book is published that changes irrevocably the face of things. “White Heat” is one such book. Since it was originally produced in 1990, it has gone on to become one of the most enduring classic cook books of our time. With its unique blend of outspoken opinion, recipes, and dramatic photographs, “White Heat” captures the magic and spirit of Marco Pierre White in the heat of his kitchen.

After leaving Allerton High School in Leeds without any qualifications, White decided to train as a chef.
He began his training in the kitchen at the Hotel St George in Harrogate, North Yorkshire and later at the Box Tree in Ilkley, West Yorkshire. Arriving in London as a 16-year-old with “£7.36, a box of books and a bag of clothes” he began his classical training as a commis under Albert Roux and Michel Roux at Le Gavroche, a period that would lead Albert to describe him as “my little bunny”.
At 24, Marco became Head Chef and joint owner of Harveys with a kitchen staff that included the young Gordon Ramsay and Heston Blumenthal.
He was awarded his third Michelin star at the age of 33 - the first British and youngest chef ever to achieve this.
