Edinburgh’s Thomson Restaurateur of Year

One of the hospitality industry’s most coveted awards, “Restaurateur of the Year,” was awarded to Edinburgh’s James Thomson, owner and creator of some of the highest-profile restaurants in the city, including the Witchery by the Castle; the Tower, set on the rooftop of the Museum of Scotland; and the Rhubarb. The win, against the talents of the Galvin Brothers and Claude and Claire Bosi of the Michelin-starred Hibiscus, was especially poignant as Thomson celebrates the 30th anniversary of the

A Chef for All Seasons




Gordon Ramsay is Britain’s most celebrated chef and restaurateur – the only London chef to hold three coveted Michelin stars for his restaurant, Gordon Ramsay, in Chelsea. He accepts nothing less than the best – every dish must be superbly cooked and perfectly presented to receive his stamp of approval.

5 Stars Great Read, Great For Super Special Occasions
Gordon Ramsay’s A Chef for All Seasons is a cookbook you can use for those super special occasions: when you want to impress those friends, who love to cook themselves, or when you just want to eat really awesome food yourself. A lot of the recipes call for expensive ingredients, like lobster, goose fat, the obligatory truffles and foie gras. But there are also quite a few recipes with more common ingredients, which are real gems. I just want to mention the Veal Chops with a Cream of Winter Vegetables (even Gordon calls this “a nice recipe for a mid-week dinner”) and the Pillows of Ricotta Gnocchi with Peas and F

Recipes from a 3 Star Chef UK Hardcover Import Ramsay

Recipes from a 3 Star Chef UK Hardcover Import Ramsay




Gordon Ramsay has recently become almost more famous for his award-winning TV shows “Kitchen Nightmares” and “The F Word”, than for his expertise as an awardwinning chef and restaurateur. However, at the heart of his talent is a passion for good food and an eye for perfection that has consistently seen him receive three coveted Michelin stars. He has been called the best chef of his generation, and this book sees Gordon at his day job – running a three-star kitchen and producing food often described as ’sublime’. Getting right to the heart of why Gordon is such a celebrated chef, the first part of the book shows 50 classic Gordon Ramsay recipes presented as they would be in one of his restaurants. The second part of the book shows the dishes presented in a domestic situation with full recipes and step-by-step instructions to recreate them yourself. Dishes include Gordon’s signature Lobster Ravioli, Corn Reared Beef Fillet with Marrow Crust, Ginger Mousse and a Bitter Chocolate Cylinder with Coffee Granite.

2 Stars Not so 3 star
I own several of his mostly mediocre paperback cookbooks and was looking forward to the “real”

Gordon Ramsay, 3 star chef. The book comes beautifully packaged, costs a few beautiful dollars and contains nothing for the average or above average home cook to take from. These are strictly restaurant recipes to be executed in a restaurant environment. Many of the ingredients are hard to come by, at least in this country and the presentation of the dishes will require a full staff.

There are other restaurant cookbooks far more helpful, for example Alfred Portale’s Gotham. He offers alternate presentations to his over the top designs for us mere mortals and the recipes are written with a home cook in mind. Or, how about Thomas Keller’s French Laundry, it offers lessons in basic procedures and then builds on it. I don’t know about the rest of the world, but I buy celebrity cook books to look at the pretty pictures, learn some new tricks, try a few new recipes just for fun and hope that maybe one will become a keeper.

Gordon’s book does not fit any of the criteria.

5 Stars amazing BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
I HAVE JUST GOT GORDON RAMSEY’S 3 STAR CHEF , WOW , TOTALLY BEAUTIFUL I HAVE NOT COOKED FROM IT YET BUT I WOULD RATE IT ON PAR WITH OR ABOVE ANY OTHER ONE OF THE BEST COOK =BOOKS OUT THERE IE; THE FRENCH LAUNDRY, THE ART OF AUROLE , A RETURN T0 COOKING , BOUCHON , NOBU WEST , DANIEL BOULUDS COOKING IN NYC, OR ANY OF CHARLIE TROTTERS AMAZING BOOKS . HIS DEDICATION TO PERFECTION IS DISPLAYED ON EACH PAGE AMUSE TO DESSERT , AND HE IS ACTUALLY AS GOOD OF A PASTRY CHEF AS SAVORY -WD MAR2408 DENVER CO

5 Stars Perfect
Finally Gordan Ramsey has made a cookbook that lets one look over his shoulder into one of his restaurants (3 Michelin stars none the less) instead of the previous “celebrity chef” books (his and others) that are for people that like the pretty pictures and basic cooking.

There are 16 starters 17 main courses and 17 dessert recipes.

The recipes are each broken down with the suggested order for preparation as well as helpful tips like items that can be prepared in advance and how to assemble the finished dish.

This isn’t a book for fans of “30 minute meals” but for those confidant in their abilities and the desire to push their cooking to another level, this is a stunning book.

5 Stars Wonderful Presentations
I opened this book and was floored by the beauty of the presentations and the photography of it. Very inspiring to say the least! I would buy this book on those grounds alone. I haven’t found the recipes particularly difficult to follow and I would not consider myself anywhere near being a chef. If you want to see some inspiring creations, this is a good place to go.
