Gordon Ramsay’s World Kitchen On Sale Now – 55% Off!

What do you fancy for dinner tonight? Italian? Chinese? French? With so many varieties of cuisine on offer in our globally-growing lives, Gordon Ramsay has put together an amazing book featuring his favourite recipes from around the world. Each chapter features a different country’s dishes that we love to eat, and would love to learn more about. Gordon delves into Middle Eastern, American, Thai, Chinese, Indian, Spanish, French, Italian, Greek, and even our own British. There are recipes for starters, mains and desserts. In addition, he explains certain techniques to go along with each type of cuisine. For example, he shows how to make Pasta, which is then transported into his recipe for Spinach, Ricotta and Pinenut Ravioli, and Curry Paste which is used for a Fragrant Green Curry with Beef. Also, each chapter begins with information on one of the best ingredients each cuisine has to offer, and five ways in which to enjoy it, like his Spanish-inspired five ways with piquillo peppers. Once again Gordon Ramsay provides an innovative range of recipes to be cooked every day, and no matter what you are in the mood for, this book has it covered. With stunning photography by Chris Terry, this is a fresh, modern addition to the ever-popular F-Word collection.

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.

Bruléed Apple Tart

Inspiration comes from a lot of places. Sometimes it is a basket of fresh fruit, sometimes it is a picture, and sometimes it is a television show. Last week, while watching Gordon Ramsay’s The F Word, inspiration struck in the form of an apple tart. Gordon baked sliced apples on a round of puff pastry, then when it was finished he bruléed sugar on the top and it looked divine! I decided to try something similar. I started by making a very flaky crust. For this recipe I made
