Hardback. Zustand: Good. Marco was born of working-class parents on a bleak council estate in Leeds, and his Italian mother died when he was six years old. Today he has become a star chef of international renown, a controversial media celebrity, a national icon of the 1980s and 1990s, and a multimillionaire entrepreneur - all before the age of 40. How has this staggering rise to fame and fortune been achieved? MPW (as he calls himself and many of his new restaurants) is today widely regarded as the best cook in the country, but his astonishing talents and understanding of food are only part of the explanation. As this fascinating book reveals, there are many sides to this complex man which the massive media coverage he has received over the years have never revealed. Charles Hennessy tells the story with insight: the unpromising early life, his first job as a kitchen porter in Harrogate, the epiphany at the age of 17 when he went to work at the Box Tree restaurant in Ilkley, his arrival in London, learning under the Roux brothers, Pierre Koffmann and Raymond Blanc, and the opening of his own first restaurant, Harvey's from whence his fame and fortune grew.…

First edition of a very rare work with letters concerning Mauritius. The letters, which date from 1740-1758, were written by Louis Charles Grant, baron de Vaux (dates of birth and death unknown) and Bertrand-François Mahé, comte de la Bourdannais (1699-1753). They offer a unique insight into daily life on the island and the conflicts between the British and French colonial administrations.Bertrand-François Mahé was a naval officer who worked for the French East India Company. He was the governor of Mauritius from 1735-1740. In 1744, he led a military expedition to take the city of Madras, India, from the British. The battle was inconclusive and both armies withdrew. The French, again led by Mahé, returned for a surprise attack in 1746. The British could not defend the poorly constructed fortifications and surrendered, leaving the French in control of the city for the next few years. This work contains an account of these events, partly in Mahé's own words, and complete with a large map of Madras.Louis Charles Grant was the governor of Mauritius from 1740-1758 and corresponded with Mahé during this time. His letters are remarkable, because they not only detail the battle of Madras, but also describe the plantations, as well as the wildlife, the climate, the inhabitants and the resources on the island.Sir John Pope Hennessy (1834-1891), who compiled this work based on the translations of Grant's son, was the governor of Mauritius from 1883-1889, when it was a British colony. Henessey writes in his introduction that in the colonial histories of the western European countries, no other expedition can compare to the one Mahé led from Mauritius to Madras. According to him, these letters "give the fullest details we possess of the planning and fitting out of this expedition." Henessey's introduction offers extra historical information and adds a different point of view to the letters, making this work a valuable and complete overview of a turbulent period in French and British colonial history.The edges of the boards are scuffed and the leather rubbed. The front flyleaf is folded and the folded map shows a horizontal tear in the middle, but without loss. Overall in good condition.l WorldCat 903231391, 560035315 (9 copies); cf.
