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

4 Stars Gordy is the best
I’d trust any recipe of Gordon Ramsay’s and this book is really nice. The photography is wonderful — showing him with his children. I’d have liked to have seen a photo for every single recipe though. There are some, but not for all.

4 Stars True to the title
I received this cookbook as not only do I love to cook, but I LOVE Gordon Ramsey. He has a flair to make the dullest things not so dull and some very original but simple recipes. I like that this did stay true to the title of the book. The pictures are full of color and some of him and his kids that bring a softer touch to this cookbook and him. If you want something a little different but still in the “norm” I highly recommend this cookbook. I love it.

4 Stars Ramsay does indeed make it easy.

2 Stars Nothing to eat
While I am a big fan of Mr. Ramsay, I was very disappointed with this book. After reading through it, there was simply no food that I wanted to eat in it and I found the cooking instructions and meal planning obtuse.

1 Star Not good for Americans
I was really excited about this as Im a huge fan of his show kitchen nightmares. I was extremley upset with his cookbook as its geared primarly european recipes. Secondly, the exact cooking instructions are extremley vague and make the reader try to become a mind reader in order to complete these recipes.

Ramsey I suggest you make a cookbook with recipes from your Kitchen Nightmares show, this book was euro crap.

4 Stars good fast food
Because of Gordon’s shows, my son has gotten interested in cooking. This will be a Christmas present and I hope to see my son in the kitchen soon !

5 Stars Food, food, food…
Nice book with some wonderful and quick recipes. If you like Gordon Ramsay or just like his food, you must have this book.

5 Stars The title says it all
Although I enjoy cooking, it was always a weekend thing when I wasn’t so tired and I had more time. This book has reawakened my love of cooking – every evening. The recipes are short and straightforward and there’s no spurious fluff (like you’d find in Jamie Oliver’s books). There’s rarely a problem finding the ingredients and it doesn’t take any great skill to follow the recipes. For simplicity and tastiness the pasta with pancetta and leeks has to be the best dish I’ve ever come across for an average work evening.

Highly recommended

Everyone thinks they know the real Gordon Ramsay: rude, loud, pathologically driven, stubborn as hell.

Now, for the first time, the world’s most famous—and infamous—chef tells the inside story of his life: his difficult childhood, his father’s alcoholism and violence, his brother’s heroin addiction, his short-circuited soccer career, and his fanatical pursuit of gastronomic perfection—everything that helped mold him into the culinary talent and media powerhouse that he is today. He also dishes the dirt on the rich and famous, and takes you behind the scenes of some of the great restaurants.

Honest, outrageous, and intensely personal, Roasting in Hell’s Kitchen will not only change your perception of Gordon Ramsay but that of the cutthroat world of haute cuisine as well.

5 Stars Great book
I don’t have a lot of time to read so I haven’t read more than 3 books in the last 5 years. I got this book from the library and read the whole thing in 1 day! Which for me, is unbelievable. I just couldn’t put it down. What a story. It is definitely worth a read if you like Ramsay. I love him even more now that I know where he has come from and what has made him the way he is. He has had a very interesting and very hard life. He is an inspiration. I thought I worked hard, I seem lazy compared to his drive and ambition.

I highly recommend this book. I would definitely read it again. In fact, I am on Amazon right now looking for more books about him.

5 Stars Scotland Rocks
One proud Glaswegian and Scot…….

For culinery skills you fought……..

Hells Kitchen can get real hot……..

I’m ecstatic your book I bought………

4 Stars Great Read
I have to admit; I’m not much of a reader. I tend to read books in order to learn something, rather than reading fiction or autobiographies.

I discovered Gordon Ramsey quite by accident. I saw clips of him on The Soup doing Hell’s Kitchen, and I thought it looked interesting. So then I watched him on Hell’s Kitchen, and later on Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares (both the US and British version), and really enjoyed the shows. Hell’s Kitchen was along the lines of the Apprentice. And Nightmares was fascinating as he worked to turn ailing businesses around. Despite his in your face bluntness, he seemed to genuinely care about what he was doing. His passion, and work ethic was extraordinary.

So I became curious about this man, having heard some of his comments on a talk show. I purchased the book, and in a rare move for me, read the entire thing in a weekend.

The story of his rise to the top of his game is incredible. His writing style is as blunt and hard hitting as his on screen persona. He appears to be telling it how it is. The writing style is not the best I’ve seen, but the book is incredibly compelling.

He started with nothing, failed in a career in professional soccer, and then worked his way up to the absolute top of his profession as a chef.

If you are a fan of Gordon Ramsey, I think you will be fascinated by this interesting read. I would have given it five stars, but had to deduct one for the occasionally muddled writing style. However really, this book is worth 4.5 stars easily.

5 Stars Great service
The book arrived in plently of time and was actually delivered earlier than anticapated, which was wonderful.

4 Stars Interesting insight into Gordon’s childhood and growing up
I enjoyed this book quite a bit, it was a quick read, with just a few pages that I skimmed over because they were sort of irrelevant (the listing out of soccer matches got boring quickly).

I definitely felt for Gordon when reading about his incredibly crappy childhood and adolescence. I giggled when I read about him shagging a restaurant owner’s wife when he was 19.

He definitely has had an interesting life. I think this book puts a more human face on his persona.

He comes out as a likeable, driven, and ambitious professional. Just two small gripes – he’s so gung-ho about not spoiling his children that he goes IMO overboard. As a parent myself, I don’t think that kids who get more than 1 Christmas gift each will grow up spoiled. For some reason, Gordon seems to think that giving them 1 pound allowance and just 1 present each will ensure that they grow up selfless and appreciative.

Another thing that bugged me a bit was his insistance that in the restaurant kitchen, the staff is not allowed to laugh or wear their name embroidered on their chef’s whites.

Gordon – no matter how serious you think your job is, it’s just cooking. You’re not curing cancer.

P.S. At first I thought “His wife must be a saint to put up with him” but then I realized that he’s never home anyway! She probably lets him feel like the boss when he IS at home, and the remaining time, she just runs things the way she sees fit and he’s none the wiser.
