SUMMARY:Alasdair Gill - Knives and Spoons
DESCRIPTION:With Alasdair Gill In conversation with Chitra Ramaswamy\n\nThe
  Portobello Bookshop is very excited to welcome Alasdair Gill for a discus
 sion of his book Knives and Spoons . Gill is a chef and writer whose caree
 r has taken him from the pressure-cooker environment of London’s finest 
 dining establishments to his current work as a private chef. The book delv
 es into the world of intense restaurant life and explores his personal jou
 rney including the highs and lows of that lifestyle.\n\nGill will be in co
 nversation with journalist and restaurant critic Chitra Ramaswamy\, it's s
 ure to be a brilliant evening with lots of fascinating insights!\n\nThis e
 vent will take place in the bookshop with an in-person audience\, as well 
 as a livestream for attendees watching from home. There will be a signing 
 after the event.\n\nFrom working in some of London’s most prestigious re
 staurants to scrubbing fat from kitchen floors\, Alasdair Gill's life as a
  chef has been a series of exhilarating highs and harrowing lows. But so t
 oo has his private life. Taking readers behind the swinging kitchen doors 
 of London's dining scene\, he shows us the major contradictions in his lif
 e\, from crossing paths with Anthony Bourdain and preparing dishes for the
  ultra wealthy to hiding in drug-fuelled kitchen dens and a wake-up call t
 hat nearly ended his life.
