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.

    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 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.

    Looks nothing like Hopkins. Has a great voice for an actor? Maybe, but I assume you're making that judgement based off of the Hannibal films with Hopkins, and in that case, any relaxed deep voiced person from Wales, or any Englishman can fill the roll. Marco just so happens to seem to have similar mannerisms.

Here he seemed so comfortable, acknowledging his lack of celebrity performance tricks without any malice for those that do possess them. He is a cook. I'd love to taste his Lasagne! I ate at Harveys many moons ago. Fun experience but he was right. Full of strangers. I want to interview him now! :)

    With all the videos I have seen about Marco, I more and more believed that his mother, who died when he was only six, impacted his personalities, he attitudes towards food and how he defines the best food / meal. 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.

And, having hit the pinnacle of gastronomy, no longer considers that pinnacle any longer relevant, and now only wishes to create food that normal people can afford and enjoy. Bravo Marco, this is what legends are made of. They are beyond awards, and on another plane altogether. A common sense down to earth person. I like Marco a lot. A great chef, but above all, a wonderful straightforward insightful person who has given so much to so many, and who continues to wow us with his abilities.

MPW only incidentally became famous as a result of his pursuit of excellence in the kitchen. I'm so happy that once he obtained his dream he allowed himself to focus on other things. Obsession is a thief of joy.

I'm not built of the same stuff as he is, I don't think most people are; I draw inspiration from his attitude, his character, and his perseverance to accomplish a goal he set out for himself. He may not see himself as a person that's able to project onto the screen, but he's certainly projected enough to make an impact on how I see myself, how I see work and how I look at success.

A recipe can confuse you, but a story can inspire us to achieve what we have to achieve in life ..." How beautifully and profoundly said by Marco Pierre White. No doubt, Marco is one of the best chefs for modern cooking and some has even regarded him as the father for modern cooking. But more importantly, it's his deeply evolved humble philosophy for cooking "Keep it simple!", I'll never forget when he has shared his remarkable cooking philosophy with one of the contestants on 2012 Master Chef Australia when he was invited to be the guest judge. And ever since, his this philosophy has become the key and the motto for my cooking and living inspirations at all time! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
