Gordon Ramsay Makes It Easy or New Diabetic Cookbook Fifth Edition

Gordon Ramsay Makes It Easy

Author: Gordon Ramsay

Easy, home-style recipes from chef Gordon Ramsay, star of the hit Fox reality show, “Hell’s Kitchen.”

International superstar chef Gordon Ramsay scored a huge hit this past summer with his Fox-TV reality show, “Hell’s Kitchen,” which showcased both his formidable cooking skills and his infamous temper. Now this three-star Michelin chef is showing a different side in Gordon Ramsay Makes It Easy, his first cookbook geared specifically to the needs of the home cook, with simple, accessible recipes that take very little time to make. This gorgeous-looking book is packed with 200 color photographs and makes a great gift for cooks of all levels and of course fans of the TV show.  A free bonus DVD is included with the book, featuring exclusive footage of Gordon cooking recipes from the book in his own home kitchen.

Gordon Ramsay (London, UK), with eight restaurants, is Britain’s most highly acclaimed chef and restauranteur and the only London chef to have been awarded a three-star Michelin rating. He is also the author of In the Heat of the Kitchen. His other hit U.K. television shows, “Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares” and “Ramsay’s Boiling Point,” can be seen in the U.S. regularly on BBC-America.

Publishers Weekly

In the U.S., British chef Ramsay is best known for his Fox reality show Hell's Kitchen, where he unleashes his fiery temper on innocent aspiring cooks. This work, which more than lives up to its title, allows Ramsay to showcase his softer side with anecdotes about his wife and photos with his children, while offering recipes where complex taste and elegant presentation belie simple preparation. Broccoli Soup, for example, cleverly uses broccoli, goat cheese and either walnuts or almonds to make for a light lunch or satisfying first course in less than 10 minutes. Even the unusual pairing of crabmeat and passion fruit in Crab Salad works beautifully, with flavor bursting in each bite. The recipes are artfully divided into eight sections, including ones for kids, fast food, cooking for a crowd and the often overlooked category of cooking for two. The section on summer barbecues is misleading, however, as most recipes work just as well indoors. Fresh herbs, wine, heavy cream and butter make repeat appearances but don't overwhelm, allowing the main ingredient to be the star. With echoes of Jamie's Dinners: The Essential Family Cookbook, by Jamie Oliver, this is a solid cookbook that could boost Ramsay's reputation Stateside. (Oct.)

Library Journal

In his previous cookbooks (e.g., Gordon Ramsay: A Chef for All Seasons), Ramsay featured the upscale food served at his acclaimed U.K. restaurants. His latest collection, however, offers recipes for the uncomplicated dishes that he likes to cook for his wife and four children: Salmon Kedgeree, Fish Pie, and Mini Meg Burgers (in the "Just for Kids" chapter). There is more elegant fare as well, notably in the chapters titled "Bellinis and Blinis," "Posh," and "Dinner for Two." Ramsay, a former soccer player, is another chef who seems to revel in his "bad boy" image, which he plays up in Hell's Kitchen, his Fox Network "reality series" that premiered this spring. The show has no doubt gained him a larger U.S. audience than the chefs and foodies who sought out his earlier titles. Buy for demand. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
