Who would have thought that one of the most rebellious and controversial chefs ever… Marco Pierre White.. would come to sound like a soft sage of the stove?

Some critics say some of his sheen has worn off amid big deals nowadays. But as superfan and youtube cook Gary Fenn discovers, his genius cookery is still hard to match – as he tries to make Marco’s signature pigs trotter dish.

But forget difficult dishes – Marco has always been about making simplicity count, and his new set of cookery videos are masterpieces of clear, zen wisdom, shown to best effect by a scrambled egg recipe that might just change your life.

Yet its not what he says these days thats important – its how he says it: quietly, but with total intensity. 

This is why we love him. Because he’s had the defiance to do things his own way, to hell with the commenteriat and the critics.
