 I like this new simplified Ramsey styleOct 07, 2009

I was a bit skeptical as I have another older Ramsey book which I never use (odd, hard to find ingredients, hours of cooking & prep time turned me off) so I was a bit skeptical when I saw this book. However, I have now cooked about 8 of the recipes from this book and they were all delicious and very easy to make with ingredients that I can buy at my local grocery store. I like this new "everyone can cook fast healthy delicious food" attitude Ramsey has going. Everything tasted amazing too even though it is healthy! Also, the way he has laid out the cooking methods is excellent. All recipes are easy to follow and completed in a few simple steps.

Love Gordon Ramsay - Love his recipes. Easy to follow and delicious. They make me feel like I am a gourmet chef who cares about the quality of my food. I recommend this book to any level of cook/chef. Ramsay's simpleness is refreshing. A++

Super healthy and super tasty!Nov 10, 2009

My partner was given this and together we've made so many recipes from this book! The roast chicken was amazing, the goats cheese souffle's came out perfect, I couldn't stop eating the minestrone - and I never thought prawn and watermelon would go so well together but gave it a shot anyway and it was a lovely and fun meal!
One reviewer said the meals didn't seem appetising - to that I say just try them anyway because I felt the same but will try (and eat) anything once. It really was a pleasant surprise and I keep picking random dishes from the book 'just to try'. I must say I've never had so many successes from the one cookbook, usually they're quite hit and miss, but Ramsay balances flavours SO well. Some of the recipes are a touch simple (i.e. oatmeal), but I get the impression that this book has been targeted at men. And if it has then it works, because it's the one book my partner doesn't mind opening up and cooking something from.
Furthermore, this book is very much in keeping with the Mediterranean food pyramid (Google it), which has been shown not only to aid in weight loss, but reduce cholesterol, and the risk of cardiovascular disease. I can't recommend this book highly enough.

AwesomeOct 04, 2009

I gotg this as a gift, and was a little put off by the big shiny pictures and the size of it...but I'm a huge Gordon Ramsay fan and wanted to try out some of his food.
The roast chicken reciepe was amazing. So amazing in fact that I am making it less than a week later-and have doubled it for lunches throughout the work week. It was tender, juicy-loaded with juices and the recipe includes a sauce using the pan drippings. Plus thanks to roasting it with herbs, lemons and garlic so full of flavor!! I had no idea a roast chicken could be so wonderful!

 It's OK...Jan 17, 2009
By Paul Rybarczyk
...don't know if I would have bought it if I'd seen it in a bookstore first.
Typical food network (although I know it's not) type production with nice full page photos of a dish along side a recipe. But I didn't really need a recipe for making oatmeal, or melon and berry salad (melon balls, berries, orange and lime juice, and honey...how easy is that!), or rigatoni with yellow and green zucchini, or hamburgers.
A few recipes feature ingredients that may not be familiar or typical to Americans, like bream (a salmon-like fish), partridge and pigeon, ling (another fish). I am however, looking forward to trying stuffed chicken breasts wrapped in sage and prosciutto, sticky baked chicken drumsticks, spinach and goat cheese soufflé.
You'd never know Ramsay's TV shows were so over the top from this book! Maybe if the recipes had names like "F**kin' Good Oatmeal" it might be spiced up!
