Did Gordon Ramsay invent the beef wellington?

At the age of 19, Gordon Ramsay made the decision to devote more time to his culinary studies in order to avoid being referred to as the football player with the gammy knee and to pursue his interest in cooking, which had started in his teenage years.

Ramsay enrolled at North Oxfordshire Technical College to study hotel management under the sponsorship of Rotarians. He calls it a complete accident that he chose to enroll in culinary college.

He served as a commis chef at the Wroxton House Hotel in the middle of the 1980s. He managed the Wickham Arms’ kitchen and 60-seat dining room until he resigned after engaging in sexual activity with the owner’s wife.

After that, Ramsay relocated to London, where he worked in a number of eateries before being motivated to join Marco Pierre White at Harveys.

Upon his return to London in 1993, Ramsay was given the opportunity to become the head chef at the three-Michelin-starred La Tante Claire in Chelsea.

After changing its name to Aubergine, the eatery received its first Michelin star fourteen months after that. Aubergine received its second Michelin star in 1997.

Ramsay left the company in July 1998 due to a disagreement with his business partners who wanted to franchise Aubergine and Ramsay’s desire to open his own eatery.

The only restaurant in the UK to rank higher than Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in 2011 was The Fat Duck in Bray, Berkshire.

Although Gordon Ramsey is largely credited for its current fame, beef Wellington actually has far earlier origins that date back to the eighteenth century.
