Marco Pierre White talks food, fame and why he hates being called a 'celebrity chef'

World-renowned chef, Marco Pierre White, is the international headliner at this year's Good Food and Wine Show in Cape Town.
We got up close and personal with the chef-turned-restaurateur, whose career spans almost forty years.

Agreed. Once you're established the way anyone like Marco has , even at one Michelin star, is an outrageous lifetime achievement. Let the man be unchained of the saute station, let him walk away from the refrigeration, let him escape florescent lights and let his skin turn olive and tinted again.

[@corbeau-_-]

and it's also more down to earth. That fine dining is pretentious too, expensive, elaborate. Fish and chips will do fine for a lot of people. He just shows you how he cooks at home and uses the Knorr products, because a lot of people do use those artificial products to create sauces, etc. Of course, the recipe will taste better if you just make your own sauce, stock, whatever (he even says so in those clips: 'why buy it, when you can make it yourself?' - Before he oddly enough, throws in a premade Knorr product xD). I mean, I don't think he's in it purely for the money. The food he makes is quick, cheap, easy and he manages to include the pods in wonderful ways.

I’m listening to someone who uses the language carefully. A “chef” is the chief - the head of a professional kitchen. The chef is also a cook, generally. I don’t like the term “chef’s knife.” The chef uses the same kind of knife most other cooks use, but it might be more expensive and he or she is likely to own it and not let others use it. My knife is a cook’s knife.

My biggest takeaway from this: Marco had a very specific and concrete goal. Worked nonstop since he was 17 to achieve it. Achieved 50% of it in 1988 and 10 years later achieved 100% of it. And more than the satisfaction of achieving the goal, he appreciated how it transformed him as a person as he "progressively realized a worthy ideal" as Earl Nightingale would say. I struggle to cook toast, but I have nothing but admiration for Marco as a man who achieved his goals, and he is truly an inspiration for anyone who has dreams and goals and is dedicated to achieving them!......Cynics please don't bother replying.

He often says that the best chefs in the world are the ones that are able to connect food to their childhood and let the food become an extension of themselves. Marco has achieved the top no doubt, but he is a very tragic figure, as he now constantly brings those treasured memories with his mom, limited as they are, to extend that into his cooking and what he thinks are the best food.

Such a legend he is, I'd love a day of cooking experience with him

[@Roonnam]

please do not consume dogs..

[@jamalb599]

I could listen to him talk all day

Like you not planning on being a cook, I never wanted to be a tribute essay writer but you're bang on!!cooking and dining together is all about stories. It would be my pleasure to write yours Marco.

Love the guy. Tried loads of his knorr recipes, would love to meet him one day and shake his hand.

Are you shitting me

[@de0509]

dank

[@Chancer02]

lucas8265 Absolutely! Who cares if he is being paid by Knorr. Like he says he makes great food accessible to the likes of us. Great food like Chicken chasseur and Paella can be made by simple old me without slaving away to make homemade stocks at a very high cost.

lucas8265 not everyone has the time to get meat, bones and prepare meat broth from scratch everyday especially if you work at a resto

[@BGRUBBIN]

Chancer02 Stocks are quite cheap to make if done properly. Guess my opinion is a bit biased being a cook.
