Scottish by birth, Gordon was brought up in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. With an injury prematurely putting an end to any hopes of a promising career in football, he went back to college to complete a course in hotel management and his dedication and natural talent led him to train with some of the world's leading chefs. In 1993, Gordon became chef of Aubergine in London and within three years was awarded two Michelin stars. In 1998, at the age of 31, Gordon set up his own restaurant, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, which quickly received the most prestigious accolade in the culinary world - three Michelin stars. One of only four chefs in the UK to maintain three stars, Gordon was awarded an OBE in 2006 for services to the industry. Now internationally renowned, Gordon has opened a string of successful restaurants across the globe, from Italy to LA. Gordon has become a star of the small screen in the UK, US and around the world. Gordon has also published a number of best-selling books, including the acclaimed Ultimate Cookery Course, Ultimate Home Cooking and Ultimate Fit Food. Gordon lives with his wife and four children in South London, along with their two bulldogs Rumpole and Romeo.
