I’m an eggoholic, so I was visualizing the clouds parting, and a ray of sunshine beaming down to turn the yolk to a yellow flame. Llyn Idwal Circular Walk to Llyn y Cwn via Devil’s Kitchen – Elevation Profile Is the hike up Devil’s Kitchen dangerous? Upon reaching the lake (Lyn Bochlwyd) turn right and begin the climb of Y Gribin. This climb starts as an easy grassy ridge that meanders upwards, however don’t be fooled as it then becomes a decent grade 1 scramble. Stay on the ridge proper for a tougher more exposed climb, with paths to the right hand side being an easier option. Chef White is not an introspective man. Behind all of his stories, we sense the pervasive influence of British class distinctions. When Prince Charles mistakenly believes he is French (his full name is Marco Pierre White) it is a social miscue that triggers red-faced embarrassment on the prince's part. It's hard for an American to think of such a situation as anything other than merely funny. While denying that he envied the rich and famous in his youth, one can't help but wonder if young Marco didn't envy their sense of belonging. The contrast between his ambitions and his upbringing constantly seemed to make him an outsider in any group. At Harvey's, Chef White's almost sadistic treatment of offending restaurant patrons seems not unlike summary evictions from the perfect-fit world he is attempting to create for himself.The much talked about big-screen adaptation of Marco Pierre White’s autobiography ‘The Devil in the Kitchen’, looks to have taken a major step towards production phase with the involvement of Australian actor Russell Crowe.

But I thought to myself, 'Actually I think Russell Crowe should be playing me, not Michael Fassbender'," he added. The Devil in the Kitchen is a truly entertaining book and one I read over the course of two days, because I found it hard to put down. White's anecdotes paint him to be something wavering between a mad genius and a miserable narcissist, but they make for a great read. Though he didn't come across as the sort of person I'd want to be friends with exactly (to be fair, he wouldn't want to be friends with a vegetarian like me either, I suspect), it was enjoyable to read about someone who is so truly passionate about what he does. The world's most celebrated chefs are divided into two opposing camps these days. In one, there are the do-gooder humanists like Alice Waters of Berkeley's Chez Panisse. In the other, there are the self-avowed holy terrors like Britain's Marco Pierre White, author of this plodding autobiography, co-written with James Steen and originally published in the U.K. in 2006 under the untoward title White Slave This was our final day in Snowdonia during our two-week stay there. And what an amazing way to conclude it! Not only did we re-visit the most stunning Llyn Idwal that holds a special place in my heart (since we had first, literally, stumbled upon it four years ago) but we also hiked up Devil’s Kitchen and discovered Llyn y Cwn. And to top it all off, we even bumped into a legend. A legend named Megan Hine that I want my kids to look up to and learn from. This hike was a special mother & son hike which we’ll cherish forever. I liked this book. . .it was unpretentious, well-crafted and interesting. If this sounds like I'm damning it with faint praise I kinda am. . .

I don’t cook, but oddly enough I enjoy reading about chefs and the skillet laden road they travel to create food that makes their customers close their eyes and raise their hands to the food gods in supplication. I did like how frank he was about not being good with girls, lol. I liked the frankness of his social awkwardness - sometimes all the memoirs lean to them being sex gods somehow.Along the length of the valley runs the A5 which has multiple lay-bys for parking and a Visitor Centre with paid parking, toilets and a cafe.
