Raw : The Autobiography

February 1,

This was a very readable autobiography and was quite amusing but sadly AWT comes out of it looking like a real arse.

His childhood was pretty rough but he claims it made no difference to him and how he turned out. I beg to differ. He is so horribly sexists (and would deny this I think by saying he loves women, he married three of them after all!) and treats the women in his life, with the exception in the book of his most recent wife, with just disdain. Marrying women , one almost because he threatened/promised/bet he’d be married by Christmas is not respectful of women or indicates any kind of an actual love for our gender. To me it speaks of disregard.

But if you read the book and have revealed to you the horrid women he met in his childhood, I think you too would draw a parallel. That and no male figure at all was bound to screw him up. Terrible combination really.
Even the women he claims to love and respect he always has to describe in terms of their appearance. Every bloody time. And then he will admit they were organised or, even worse I think, feisty! Men are never described as feisty!

Synopsis

Antony Worrall Thompson&#x;s passage to culinary stardom has not exactly been smooth. Abandoned by his father, a Shakespearean actor, when he was just three, Antony was sexually abused and maltreated throughout his childhood. His extra-curricular activities at boarding school included pushing cars into the swimming pool and generally getting on the teacher's nerves.

Antony&#x;s story very nearly came to an abrupt halt at sixteen when his face was crushed in a horrific rugby accident, which left him badly disfigured and chronically insecure. But pioneering surgery saved the day, enabling him to pursue what was to become the enduring love of his life &#x; cooking.

After much hard graft and some close encounters of the violent gangster kind, AWT&#x;s flamboyant style as a restaurateur soon bought him to the attention of cookery&#x;s cognoscenti. Things didn&#x;t always run according to plan, however &#x; he once had to serve tinned tomato soup, tarted up with croutons and basil, to the customers in his restaurant because there wasn&#x;t time to make his own from scratch. (They loved it.) And today Antony is to the culinary establishment what a bull is to a china shop. His no-nonsense style in the kitchen is loathed by a few, but lo
