S16 Ep5: Marco Pierre White: The original rock and roll chef

My guest today is Marco Pierre White. The original rock and roll chef, Marco Pierre White was the chef who cooked like an angel, looked like a rock star and changed the way the world thought of British food. Born in Leeds, to a chef father and Italian mother he was the third of four sons. As a teenager he travelled to London with just £7.36 in his pocket to pursue a career in cooking. He trained under some of the most famous chefs in the world - Pierre Koffman and Albert Roux. He opened his own restaurant in 1987, aged 25 and at the age of just 33 he became the first British chef to win 3 Michelin stars and the youngest chef in the world to achieve such a thing...He would also be the first chef to hand back his Michelin stars. He now runs the Rudloe Arms in Bath where we are today working with his daughter. He says family is the driving force behind everything he does.
