Product Description

Review
Worrall Thompson's searing autobiography is likely to cause as much of a stir in the sedate world of haute cuisine as Anthony Bourdain's bestsellers. This is an unflinching story of triumph over adversity on the road to culinary stardom. Sent to boarding school when he was just three, shortly after his parents split up (he didn't see his father for the next 18 years), Worrall Thompson was sexually and physically abused throughout his childhood. He was a rebellious child and frequently in trouble at school. As an adult, Worrall Thompson quickly made his mark as a chef. His flamboyant style as a restaurateur quickly brought him to the attention of cookery's cognoscenti. Raw is a caustic story of food, sex and ambition, and an insight into the world of a controversial and talented chef.

The Daily Telegraph
Raw is a damn sight funnier, more interesting and less pretentious than 99 per cent of the competition.

4.0 out of 5 stars What a life!, 17 Jan 2004
I have watched Antony for some years on his TV programs and on Ready Steady Cook. Couldn't put this book down - he has had the most extraordinary life and reading the book is just like sitting down at a dinner party and listening to him. If you like seeing him on TV and hearing his little comments you will love this book. What an interesting and delightful man he is - plus his honesty concerning his childhood and life makes for a very interesting tale.

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor effort!, 14 Sep 2008
This is really an account of past relationships and bedroom activities of the author. It's boring!!! Whole chapters on another random girl and then a few pages on the food side of his life.
It really is a bad effort. I was a big fan of AWT but since reading this he has gone down in my estimations. It's obvious to the reader that he measures his successes in how many ladies he can bed.
If you were expecting to read about british food at an interesting time in its development, forget it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Celebrity Chef with depth and charm - OK, I was surprised
I have always liked AWT and thought I would give the bio genre a try using his book as a first. I was not disapointed. Read more
