The Restaurant judge, Marco Pierre White, shares his recipe for a happy life

TV3’s ‘The Restaurant’ judge Marco Pierre White has swapped Michelin stars for wellies, says Esther McCarthy.

He earned a reputation as one of the most feisty and temperamental chefs in the business, but in person Marco Pierre White is quite the pussycat.

While he has a larger-than-life persona that some might find intimidating, there’s a warmth about White that belies those stories of a chef who used famously to eject customers from his fashionable and revered London restaurants.
