Gordon Ramsay makes chef cook naked wrapped in cling-film

1 February 2008 - Gordon Ramsey has a unique way of punishing chefs

Gordon Ramsey always speaks his mind on his TV shows. When he found out that one of his chefs was stealing his recipes he decided to take action. The TV chef wrapped his employee up in cling-film and made him cook.

Gordon told Virgin Mobile Bites: "We started noticing that all our recipes were going missing - and there's a database of 5,500 of them.

"We followed him on the CCTV and found out he was sifting all the ideas out of my kitchen. So I stripped him stark b*****k naked and wrapped him in cling-film.

"It's probably the nastiest thing I've done. He sweated like a pig. I don't know why he did it but then it's pretty hard to talk when you're being wrapped in cling-film by 25 cooks."

"If you're going to work for a chef, don't be so ignorant in trying to steal.

"I'd happily give out my recipes, but you still won't cook a dish as good as me – the thing about this job is that it's from the heart."
