The Real Food Handbook Buying Storing and Using Ingredients from Around the World

The Real Food Handbook Buying Storing and Using Ingredients from Around the World



Most cooks are now emphasizing that it is not complexity that make for great cuisine, but quality of ingredients—sourcing the best produce at the right time of year, getting the best cut of meat and the freshest seafood, the finest oils, vinegars, and spices. This title guides the reader through this area, offering an A-Z of every staple ingredient you will find in the modern cook’s pantry, where to buy, what to select, and how to look after it and incorporate it into your cooking. It also includes a guide to the many varieties of rice, chillies, flour, herbs, exotic and everyday vegetables, diary products, oils and vinegars, meat, fish, deli goods, and Far Eastern condiments, making it a valuable reference book for cooks.

Gordon Ramsays Fast Food



Throw out the frozen dinners and takeout menus. Who better to show readers how to cook real food, real fast and make it really tasty than Gordon Ramsey, three-star chef and TV celebrity?

The book is divided into short sections: 15 feature fast recipes classified by group, such as starters, soups, fish, meat, pasta, working lunches, and desserts, and 15 more sections contain great menus for everyday and entertaining. Many of the dishes can be prepared and cooked in as little as 15 minutes, and none take longer than half an hour. The menus provided take 30-45 minutes from start to finish, each with a timing plan. There’s also advice on essential ingredients to keep in stock for speedy cooking, plus lots of great ideas for shortcuts.

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

I like this book but I’d like a few more recipes that don’t have so much fish in it. My husbands not a fish eater and well it’s hared for me to use this book, but I love Gordon Ramsay cooking and all of hhis shows . I’m hooked!!!!

1 Star J. Newman
I really did not like this book! I live in a small city so a lot of the ingredients in the recipes were not available to me. I mailed the book back the very next day of receiving it. If you like simple food or simple recipes this book would not be for you.

5 Stars Fast and delicious recipes!
I am amazed by how simple and fast of all the recipes within the book!

I was skeptical about the quality of a fast meal but after having a few tryouts with some of the recipes I was blown away!

Even my friends can’t believe how easy and delicious it could be!

Highly recommended for 20s-30s who stays alone and away from home :P

5 Stars Yummy Recipes and Great Layout.

5 Stars Love this book

Roast Leg of Lamb with Apples and Cider Posted By : Real Food

This is one of my favourite Gordon Ramsay recipes from his book Cooking for Friends, with an added NoMU touch of course. It is very easy and truly.
