Passion for Seafood Conran Octopus Cookery S

Gordon Ramsay won his first Michelin star at the prodigious age of 27 and has since become one of the UK’s best-known chefs. Here, he turns his attention to the food that excites him most: fish and shellfish. Ramsay aims his advice at home cooks, especially those who are not used to preparing seafood, and he begins with an entire section on how to choose the freshest specimens. Then, he proceeds to give a guide to filleting, skinning, trimming, preparing, marinating, flavoring and freezing all kinds of seafood. One hundred exciting recipes range from simple Salmon Fishcakes and Fish Pie to the more adventurous Crab Ravioli with Lemongrass Vinaigrette. This is a must for fish lovers everywhere.

The 42-year-old has a number of Michelin-starred restaurants around the world but he admitted he is a fan of the US chain’s burgers. He said: "They are extraordinary. One thing I enjoy eating is fish and meats. I’ve been somewhat obsessed with In-N-Out burgers." The burger chain was founded in 1948 and is a chain of fast food restaurants located on the West Coast of the US.

My name is Kevin, and I'm a foodie, gourmet, gourmand, gastronome, epicure, bon vivant, whichever label you prefer. I've been pursuing this passion since late 2004, and started documenting my experiences in August of 2006 (fyi: my first post was Alinea ). However, this blog, in its current form, only began in March 2008. For easier navigation, I've put together a list of links to all my posts, separated by region.

Gordon Ramsays Playing with Fire Raw Rare to Well Done

Not a sausage. That is what Gordon Ramsay had when he started out as a chef, working 16-hour days, 6 days a week. When he was struggling to get his first restaurant in the black, he didn’t think he’d be famous for a TV show about how to run profitable eateries, or that he’d be head of a business empire. But he is and he did. Here’s how. “In the beginning there was nothing. Not a sausage – penniless, broke, fucking nothing – and although, at a certain age, that didn’t matter hugely, there came a time when hand-me-downs, cast-offs and football boots of odd sizes all pointed to a problem that seemed to have afflicted me, my mum, my sisters, Ronnie and the whole lot of us. It was as though we had been dealt the ‘all-time dysfunctional’ poker hand. I wish I could say that, from this point on, the penny dropped and I decided to do something about it, but it wasn’t like that. It would take years before the lessons of life, business and money began to click into place – before, as they say, I had a pot to piss in. This is the story of how those lessons were learned.” This is Gordon Ramsay at his raw, rugged best.P LAYING WITH FIRE is the amazing story of Gordon’s journey from sous-chef to superstar. In his no-holds-barred style, Gordon shares his passion for risk and adventure and his hard-won success secrets.

5 Stars ramsay on fire and food
Bought this book at Gatwick Airport to read on the way back from London.Found it interesting as it tells of his first ventures into the restaurant business and of his relationship with his father-in law. So in that way it differs from his other books.Passengers on the plane saw me reading the book and said thier son was a chef for Gordon Ramsay at Claridge’s in London…
