White Heat 25: 25th Anniversary Edition

White Heat – Marco Pierre White
My culinary hero. My inspiration for over 25 years. This book didn’t just teach me how to cook — it lit a fire.
Once in a blue moon, a cookbook comes along and changes everything. White Heat did just that. First released in 1990, it wasn’t just a collection of recipes — it was raw energy, fierce passion, and unfiltered brilliance, all captured in black and white. Marco Pierre White, the original rockstar chef, takes you into the chaos and poetry of his kitchen, with unforgettable photographs by the legendary Bob Carlos Clarke.

This 25th anniversary edition includes rare new shots and reflections from culinary giants like Anthony Bourdain, Gordon Ramsay, Raymond Blanc, David Chang, and more — all paying homage to the man who changed the game.

Bold, gritty, and iconic — White Heat isn’t just a cookbook. It’s a piece of culinary history. That’s why it proudly holds a spot in Pin Ups – Kook’s Favourite Books.
