At seventeen, Marco Pierre White walked into the Box Tree in Ilkley and found something he had not encountered before: magic. Malcolm and Colin — two restaurateurs he describes as the most gifted he ever met — ran a two-Michelin-starred establishment of extraordinary atmosphere and generosity. Marco threw himself into it with the same totality he brought to nature: food and kitchen became his addiction, his identity, his family.
