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.

Despre autor
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.
