Marco Pierre White, the original 'enfant terrible' of the food scene, has earned his place in British culinary history as much for his strong temperament as for his unique talent as a chef. The youngest chef ever to earn three Michelin stars, he has become a food icon of our time. His proteges include the internationally renowned Michelin-starred chefs Gordon Ramsay, Mario Batali and Jason Atherton.
Marco Pierre White was the original rock-star chef - the guy who all of us wanted to be... He made history. Unquestionably, this is the most influential cookbook of all time. White Heat was the book that made boys want to become great chefs. White Heat made kitchen work as sexy as being a lead singer and Marco wore it like Mick Jagger.
