Before Kitchen Nightmares graced our TV screens, way back in 2004, Gordon Ramsay was a somewhat-known chef in the U.K. However, worldwide renown and fame were not even on the sweary chef’s radar.

Two decades later, the name Gordon Ramsay became synonymous with reality TV, high standards of cooking, reality TV, heated confrontation, reality TV, lots of swearing, and reality TV.

The fan base for Kitchen Nightmares is gargantuan. There are websites, message boards, YouTube videos and much, much more. There seems to be an insatiable appetite for more Gordon Ramsay and more Kitchen Nightmares all around the planet. The show really did become a global phenomenon, and it was Kitchen Nightmares that catapulted Gordon Ramsay from a somewhat-known U.K. chef to a world-recognised brand.

The impact that Kitchen Nightmares had, and still continues to have today, could not be foreseen. But now, it can be remembered and revered in this epic tome. A book so big that it has had to be split into two volumes. FUCKING DONKEY! THIS IS A COMPLETE KITCHEN NIGHTMARE VOL.1 takes you on a journey from the very first restaurant featured on the show, and all through every episode of Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares, Ramsay’s Great British Nightmare and seasons one, two and three of Kitchen Nightmares. Every episode is given a highlighted, but detailed, recap. A look at what happened to the restaurants and people involved.

Plenty of facts and trivia, stories detailing successes and failures… and plenty of witty observations too. Learn what happened after the Kitchen Nightmares cameras were packed up and after Gordon Ramsay left. Stories of Michelin Star success, an ex-owner turning prostitute, mafia connections, a paedophile chef and more. Who knows, there may even be some cheeky behind-the-scenes tales from the very people who were featured on the show. Like the time Gordon Ramsay fell flat on his face on a golf course. There’s even a world exclusive bit of genuine Kitchen Nightmares history captured in this book for the first time ever!
