Jock's life spiralled out of control when he tried heroin for the first time as a teenager while growing up in 1980s Glasgow. For years he balanced a career as a rising star amongst legendary chefs with a crippling drug addiction that took him down many dark paths. Fired from his job at a Michelin star restaurant in Chester, England, after a foul-mouthed rant, Jock made his way to London looking for work and found himself in front of the legendary Marco Pierre White. He credits White for saving his life, but Jock continued to struggle with addiction in a world of excess, celebrity, and cut-throat ambition. On New Year's Eve 1999, Jock shot up his last shot of heroin before boarding a plane to Sydney, where he would find passion and new meaning in life in the most unexpected places. There would be more struggles ahead, including two failed marriages, the closure of his prized restaurant during COVID-19, his time on-country, and some very public battles. This is his story. -- Front jacket flap.<br/>Format: Regular print<br/>William Angliss Institute : great chefs cookbook / William Angliss Institute ; edited by Meaghan Jones ; Adam Hacking, designer and photographer ; Paul Fitzgerald, food photographer ; Lisa Morrison, cookery consultant.ent://SD_ILS/0/SD_ILS:1578882024-05-12T00:47:34Z2024-05-12T00:47:34Zby Jones, Meaghan, editor.<br/>Call Number 641.5 WIL<br/>Publication Date 2015<br/>Format: Books<br/>High season : a memoir of heroin & hospitality / Jim Hearn.ent://SD_ILS/0/SD_ILS:321172024-05-12T00:47:34Z2024-05-12T00:47:34Zby Hearn, Jim.<br/>Call Number 926.4 HEA<br/>Publication Date 2012<br/>Summary Kitchen Confidential meets Underbelly in this enthralling memoir.
