Mr White’s

Marco Pierre White, often called the godfather of modern cooking, is a world-renowned chef, restaurateur, and TV personality. He launched the careers of chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Heston Blumenthal. At 19, he trained in classical French cuisine under Albert and Michel Roux, later working with Raymond Blanc and Pierre Koffmann.

In 1987, he opened Harvey’s in London and earned three Michelin stars by age 33, the youngest chef to do so. White became the first British chef to achieve this and went on to star in shows like Hell’s Kitchen and MasterChef Australia.

More recently, he’s focused on his hotel, The Rudloe Arms in Bath – while enjoying fishing, gardening, and traveling for work. He’s appeared on A League of Their Own, launched BBC Maestro cooking lessons, collaborates with P&O Cruises and is developing TV projects and his own wonderful Mr White’s Gin.

“I distinctly remember the captivating aroma of the distillation of juniper berries from a gin distillery on Wandsworth Bridge, as I made my way to and from Harveys in London. The smell takes me back to memorable moments from my days spent back in the capital all those years ago. 

Nowadays, I like nothing more than cooking for my family and inspiring people around me to be creative. This is the basis for Mr. White’s Gin. The recipe is focused on my mantra of keeping things simple but doing them well..”
