Books like Playing with fire by Gordon Ramsay

Name: Playing with fire
Author: Gordon Ramsay

When he was struggling to get his first restaurant in the black, he didn't think he'd be famous for a TV show about how to run profitable eateries, or that he'd be head of a business empire. But he is and he did. Here's how.
