James Ramsay, OBE (born
8 November 1966) is one
of the UK's most famous
chefs. He is one of only
three chefs in the UK to
maintain three Michelin
stars for their
restaurant (the others
being Heston Blumenthal
and Alain Roux). He is
married to Tana Ramsay
and they have four
children. He admits he
is proud never to have
changed a nappy. He was
appointed OBE in the
2006 honours list "for
services to the
hospitality
industry".
Born
in Glasgow, Scotland,
Ramsay was brought up in
England after his family
moved to
Stratford-upon-Avon. As
a teenager he played
association football for
Oxford United FC's youth
side and was seen by a
scout for Rangers FC. He
completed trials for the
Scottish club and became
a professional player at
the age of 15. After
suffering a knee injury
that left him unable to
regain full fitness he
was released from the
club.
When
he was 19 Ramsay turned
his hand to cookery and
worked with Albert Roux
in London and Guy Savoy
and Joel Robuchon in
Paris before becoming
head chef of the
newly-opened Aubergine
restaurant in
1993.
