5 Stars The Man Knows His Stuff
I am a typical male, not a very good cook, but fortunately I know someone who is, my wife. So rather than buy the book for myself I saw it as a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone so to speak. A present for my wife with the added attraction of getting some of Gordon’s meals thrown in, without having to pay restaurant prices.

By chef’s own admission the food is simple, but innovative and exciting and I have been fortunate to enjoy several of the recipes already.

I admire Mr. Ramsay for trying to coax the British public into getting round the table together on a Sunday lunch time. Whether it will ever happen in our house where the members are usually scattered to the four corners of the property, doing their own thing. A tray on the knee, or even walking around with a plate in their hand, I have my doubts.

I do remember many years ago when I lived at home with my parents that Sunday lunch was a ritual that was virtually impossible to escape from. If you were not at the table, hands and face sparkling, you wouldn’t hear the last of it until Monday morning.

However I digress, the book is a cook book. So is it any good. Well like the curates egg, it is good in parts. By that I mean, or so my wife tells me, that some of the recipes are excellent and some of them are OK and some of them she thinks she can do better herself, and who am I to argue.

5 Stars Not just lunch
Ignore the title, these recipes are good for evening meals too.

I’ve been a big fan of Gordon for some time, watching his shows, reading his autobiography etc. This is the first of his cookbooks I have owned and I am very impressed.

The food is excellent, the suggested menus work well together (although I often interchange dishes). As well as themed ‘lunches’ there are also little asides e.g. 5 ways with carrots, and the spiced carrots with star anise has been a big hit with our guests. I’ve used Gordon’s honey mustard marinade a lot, and the beef casserole with mustard mash potatoes has to be one of my favourites.

And as only a moderately experienced cook, I love the timelines for the themed lunches, i.e. what you can do the day before, what to do an hour ahead, what to do just before serving.

My favourite cookbook. Until, perhaps I buy another Ramsay cookbook.

5 Stars His passion became my passion
Gordan Ransay’s Passion for Flavours quickly became one of my favorite book. Not one of my favorite RECIPE books, but one of my favorite books I’ve ever read. All those mouthwatering recipes, in those bright, colorful pictures, makes me want to try them every weekend – it’s when I have time to cook. A must be in every collection of those who love to cook for your beloved ones. This book made Gordon’s passion becoming my own.

5 Stars exelent classic
It’s a cook book that you must have, the stocks and sauces part is really good for a book that the first print was 1996.

2 Stars Not practical
I LOVE Gordon Ramsay. My boyfriend purchased this cookbook and also Gordon Ramsey Makes it Easy. This book is filled with items I would never dare even eat ex: roasted rabbit salad, a fish called Dorade, venison, lamb, etc. etc.

I think his work is marvelous but this book is not for your everyday cook. If you enjoy Gordon as much as I do, the best practical cookbook he has out is Gordan Ramsey makes it easy.

3 Stars GORDON & OTHER SIX LETTER WORDS.
OF HIS MANY COOK BOOKS PASSION FOR FLAVOR IS NOT HIS BEST – HOWEVER IN SAYING THAT, HIS SELECTION

OF RECIPES IS MORE OBSCURE THAN CLASSIC – ON TURNING EACH PAGE YOU HOPE TO RUN ACCROSS A DISH

YOU CAN’T WAIT TO COOK INSTEAD THE PAGES KEEP TURNING WTH NO REAL EXCITEMENT OR TITILATION.

HIS REAL GIFT TO THE READER IS HOW TO DEVELOP SKILLS IN PRODUCING THE BASIC GROUNDWORK ON WICH

TO BUILD FLAVOR IF YOU DIDN’T ALLREADY KNOW HOW TO MAKE A TOMATO CONCASSE OR CREME PATISSERIE

THIS BOOK IS INVALUABLE – MUCH OF THE INGREDIENTS FOR SOME OF HIS DISHES WILL BE HARD IF NOT

IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN THE STATES – IE; RED MULLET – BRILL – GOOSE FAT – PARTRIDGE ETC IF YOU CAN FIND

THEM EXPECT TO PAY HANDSOMLY – NEARLY EVERY RECIPE INVOLVES LARGE QUANTITIES OF EXPENSIVE GOODIES.

MY FIRST SHOT AT ONE OF BIG BOYS RECIPES WAS HIS RABBIT/CABBAGE/CEPES TERRINE – IT COST A SMALL

FORTUNE – TOOK HOURS TO MAKE BUT SURPRISINGLY IT TURNED OUT GREAT.

SO RAMSAY FANS GIRD UP YOUR LOINS FOR THIS BOOK BUT REMEMBER DON’T GO INTO ESCROW PAYING

FOR THE INGREDIENTS.

BEAUTIFUL PHOTOGRAPHY AS CAN BE EXPECTED – BUT IN MY OPINION I COULD OF DONE WITH SOME MORE EXCITING AND LESS EXPENSIVE RECIPE SELECTIONS – A BOOK YOU WOULD USE TWICE A WEEK INSTEAD OF

ONCE A MONTH.

ON A SCALE OF ONE TO TEN – PASSION FOR FLAVOUR WOULD BE A FIVE TO SIX
