Chef Gordon Ramsay is world-famous but, he tells us, people no longer want to talk about his food. The celebrity has become known as much for his cookery programmes, his fiery temper and explosive outbursts, as for his culinary skills.

This week, the focus is back on the food, as Gordon speaks to Emily Thomas about the five most memorable meals he has ever had and how they have shaped him as a chef - from his mother\\u2019s macaroni and cheese on a council estate in the West Midlands, to smuggled cheese souffl\\xe9s at Le Gavroche.

Gordon's dishes are: Mum's Mac and Cheese with smoked bacon; souffl\\xe9 Suissesse at Le Gavroche; braised pigs' trotters with cabbage at Casa Del Pescatore near Verona; rum baba at Le Louis XV; and his own chickpea curry.
