Book Description

October 16, 2006
Tony Allan is a rare breed - a masterful chef as well as a great businessman. He is second only to Sir Terence Conran as Britain's wealthiest restaurateur and enjoys celebrity status following his primetime BBC cookery show Tony & Giorgio, with best pal Giorgio Locatelli.

Packed with entertaining anecdotes, his inspiring biography and business manual, Making Good, gives a real insight into one of the few remaining characters on the UK's restaurant scene and a template for aspiring entrepreneurs who want to know how it could - but perhaps shouldn't - be done. Making Good is the fly-on-the-kitchen-wall cookumentary of exactly what Tony Allan did and why he did it the way he did. It is essential reading for wannabe millionaires from all walks of life, including anyone who has ever dreamt of running their own business or opening a successful restaurant. Making Good will inspire anyone hungry for a genuine rags-to-riches story.

'I call Tony my English brother. He is the man who introduced me to English culture and we have had some wonderful times together. Launching Bank restaurant was a fantastic experience, one I will always remember, so this book is very special.' Christian Delteil, Managing Director of Bank Restaurants

"Packed with entertaining anecdotes...gives real insight...It is essential reading for wannabe millionaires from all walks of life." (First Voice, August 2009)

About the Author

Tony Allan is second only to Terence Conran as Britain’s wealthiest restaurateur. He is worth an estimated £85 million, and rising all the time. His meteoric rise from fishmonger to the elite of British entrepreneurs speaks volumes for his dedication and skill as a chef, but also his uncanny ability as a businessman to spot an opportunity and maximize it to its fullest potential. He starred in the BBC2 primetime cookery show Tony & Giorgio, with his best pal Giorgio Locatelli, himself owner of the premier London eatery Lomando Locatelli.
