    GORDON RAMSAY, THE MAN

    Scottish by birth, Gordon Ramsay was brought up in Stratford-upon-Avon, England.


    Ramsay has an older sister, Diane, a younger brother, Ronnie and a younger sister, Yvonne.
    Ramsay's father, Gordon (died 1997), was at various times a swimming pool manager, a
    builder, and a shopkeeper. His mother, Helen Cosgrove, now retired, was a nurse.

    With an injury prematurely putting an end to any hopes of a promising career in football,
    he went back to college to complete a course in hotel management. His dedication and
    natural talent led him to train with some of the world’s leading chefs.

    In 1993 Gordon became chef of Aubergine in London, which, within three years, was
    awarded two Michelin stars. In 1998, Ramsay set up his first wholly owned and namesake
    restaurant, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, which received in 2001 the most prestigious award
    in the culinary world – three Michelin stars. Today, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay is
    London’s longest-running restaurant to hold this award, and Ramsay is one of only four
    chefs in the UK to maintain three stars.

    Ramsay received an OBE (Order of the British Empire awarded by Queen Elizabeth II) in
    2006 for services to the industry. Gordon has also become a star of the small screen both
    in the UK and internationally, with UK shows such as Gordon Behind Bars, Ultimate
    Cookery Course, Gordon’s Great Escapes and Gordon Ramsay: Shark Bait. He has
    participated as well in four top-rated FOX shows that air in more than 200 countries:
    Kitchen Nightmares, Hell’s Kitchen, Masterchef US and Hotel Hell. Besides, he is also a
    published author of a number of books, many of which have become bestsellers
    worldwide.

    Ramsay has been married to Cayetana Elizabeth Hutcheson (known as Tana), a


    schoolteacher, since 1996. Tana and their four children, along with their bulldog Rumpole
    and two cats, are settled in South London. However, due to working reasons, Ramsay has
    to divide his time between London and Los Angeles.
