Chef on the Run: The amazing true story of celebrity chef Sidney Sharratt

The amazing true story of celebrity chef Sidney Sharratt. Wars, coups, uprisings and revolutions, it mattered not; Sid Sharratt, saucepan in hand was always in amongst them!The legend that is Sidney Sharrat is forever enshrined in this remarkable life story. A world class, highly regarded master chef whose exploits around the world are now part of culinary folk lore. He had the unique knack of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. His forays into South Africa at the height of apartheid and his arrest at the hand of Gaddafi's soldiers in Libya. His internment after the biggest military coup ever in Nigeria and his involvement with Ian Smith in Rhodesia when a full blooded civil war was raging. His participation fighting Mozambique rebels after signing up for top mercenary Mad Mike Hoare and his incarceration and near-death in Iran the week the Ayatollah returned. Add to all this his two spells in Saudi Arabia working for the FBI on two missions and being close up to beheadings of his workforce, Sid has seen more death and destruction than any serving soldier. He must have used up all his nine lives, but his story is also a barrel of laughs where humour abounds everywhere he goes. Sid has met more A-listers than a night at the Oscars, the Beatles, Stones, Travellin Wilburys, Kirk Douglas, Donald Trump, Ken Dodd, Nigel Mansell and Celine Dion are just a few to mention. Only the second man in British History to have a Fatwa on his head, Sid has done his own thing, across Africa, Asia, Europe and the United States in the most incredible biography of all time.Sidney Sharrat - The Chef on the Run!
