We're Not Keeping You Up, Are We?

by David Pitchford

David Pitchford went from the most humble beginnings in Shrewsbury to train at The Dorchester in London under legendary masterchef Eugene Kaufeler, going on to win a coveted award as Chef of the Year and then, in partnership with his wife Rona, opening their own restaurant, Read's, which held a Michelin star for more than twenty years. A friend and contemporary of many of the country's leading celebrity chefs and restaurateurs, including Gordon Ramsay, Antonio Carluccio, Brian Turner, Langan's Richard Shepherd and many other big names, David gives a fascinating and highly entertaining behind-the-scenes insight into the restaurant business, the title reflecting the toils, trials and tribulations involved in running a high-end restaurant and endeavouring to keep even the most awkward customers happy.
