Product Description
Gordon Ramsay’s no-holds-barred television persona has garnered widespread attention both stateside and abroad, but his food continues to be his greatest achievement. His passion for fresh ingredients is fully apparent in this collection of fifty classic Ramsay recipes. Describing both the restaurant methods for preparation, along with a down-to-earth guide to recreating the dishes at home, this beautifully photographed book showcases Ramsay’s immense talent. Including Gordon's signature Lobster Ravioli, Corn Reared Beef Fillet with Marrow Crust, Ginger Mousse and a Bitter Chocolate Cylinder with Coffee Granite, this cookbook is both a valuable cook’s resource and an arresting look at a man who has been dubbed “the best chef of his generation.”

Of course, anyone aware of Ramsay's reputation as one of the top chefs in the world won't be surprised at the amount of preparation and commitment needed to create most of the dishes in this book; however what was surprising was how simple most of the ingredient lists are considering what the end results are. Great solid flavors and simple platings that Ramsay has become famous for. A must have for any foodie, if you only buy one of Ramsay's cookbooks this should be it. From here you can extract his sense on how to deal with ingredients in a simplified form that can be more attainable by the average home cook and exactly what his more home cooking based books are all about
This is an eye opener for all home cooks. October 10, 2008

As a home cook, things were simple and fulfilling.
I opted to purchase this book to see what makes a 3 star Michelin service. I was pleasantly surprised that Gordon Ramsay had the same (relatively) approach. Simple, fantastic food. This book opened my eyes to making simple dishes into what he has made fantastic food.
I do have this warning: THIS IS NOT FOR THE NOVICE COOK.
However, for the conditioned chef/cook, this has really openened my eyes, nose, and tongue for the intricacies that make a Michelin 3 star chef. Be prepared to prep chicken, veal, fish, stock the night before, however you will not only understand why sous chefs report at 7am the day of service, but you will benefit from the taste that all of that effort takes.
AGAIN NOT FOR THE NEW COOK.
There are only a few instances where a genious will let us glance into his notebook, and this is it. So for you cook's who want to expand your repetoire, GET THIS BOOK! Even if you don't like the recipes, you'll undoubtedly get ideas to make your home cooking miles from what it is now.
5 Stars on Amazon, a definite 3 stars for Michelin.
Happy Cooking.
