Gordon Ramsay's Home Cooking: Everything You Need to Know to Make Fabulous Food

I own the more famous Salt Fat Acid Heat (more famous in the cookbook world, that is) and then this cookbook by Gordon Ramsay. Ramsey's book is superior, and I have worked through both books. His recipes are simple yet elegant. He elevates everyday ingredients. Please excuse any typos as this is voice to text. Gordon's recipes and techniques are accessible. The ingredients that he asks you to have in your pantry, you should already have if you are a home cook. I am of course referring to: Salt and Pepper Cumin, Turmeric, Garam Masala, Coriander Ginger Garlic Olive Oil Rice Vingegar Balsamic Vinegar Basics like lentils, flour, olive oil These spices are used fairly commonly now whereas perhaps in the 90's they were not. In fact, those are pretty basic spices for today's home cook. H Ramsay's recipes are simply classy. He can elevate even something as simple as green beans. And believe it or not, with this book you will actually be superior to many chefs at restaurants. Prepare to feel better about yourself, prepare to feel classy. And to save a ton of money. This book will make you feel great, but you really need to take your time with it and read the recipe slowly and read his suggestions and the introductions to the chapter slowly. I would recommend a slow work through of the book for 3 months, followed by daily reference use of the book for a year to get its full benefit.

I have always liked Gordon Ramsay and of course wanted this book forever but I never seen here living in Dubai so bought it online here it got shipped fairly quick so that was good can’t wait to try his recipes what I like is some of them are simple yet easy to master and what tools you need there is even a page of how to chop a onion for those who don’t know how too it’s great for everyone to have on there kitchen if they enjoy cooking . Thanks

As others have mentioned, this is the American update to the UK edition of the Home Cookery course. It has all the recipes that are shown on the TV show, which is included with Prime. The show is great, and it moves at a fast pace partially because he does not get into specifics - the show is about techniques and ideas - the specifics are in the book. There are also articles in the book about various subjects, some of which you'll hear in the show. It's not just a recipe book, it's a book about cooking, and the combination of the show and the book provide an excellent virtual cooking course. Even after having cooked for decades, I'm learning new things and refreshing my passion for cooking. In this time of staying at home, it's just the thing.

Recipes in this book are approachable. Steps are broken down so that a novice can succeed with these recipes. There hasn't been one recipe I've tried so far (I've made about 10 with more to come) that has turned out bad. I did have to make the gnocchi twice, but that was an error on my part the first time; the second batch was easily my favorite thing I've made so far, and I believe something that will become a regular rotation in my kitchen. I'm cheap, and I'd tell you this book is worth twice what I paid for it. I'm a pretty seasoned home cook, and there was still a lot I've taken away from this book. Do yourself a favor and buy this one, I wholeheartedly recommend it and will be gifting these to friends for the holidays!

Bought as a birthday present for my significant other. I must say, this book has so many ideas. It even tells you Helpful tips like buying kitchen utensils and shelf life of spices. The pictures of the food look beautiful and hopefully I can make mine look half as well. I plan to buy his other books and have them all for reference. It's great for new beginners also.

Very informative book with several interesting, challenging, rewarding, and tasty recipes that will last you for years. There's not a single bad recipe in this book as far as I've made yet. All recipes mostly use common household goods and appliances. Furthermore, some of these recipes are on his YouTube channel, so you can get a quick look at the steps needed if you're more of a visual learner.

I enjoyed this a lot. I can't wait to try another book. I was a bit worried- my skill level is that of a five-year-old- but even I could cook the recipes. My daughter and I like to cook together, and she is a huge fan of Master Chef JR so this was a perfect activity for us.

Measurements are completely off by a long shot. Also, not in Gordon Ramsay’s words meaning someone else wrote it or else the recipes would not have so many mistakes. Also, even after following the recipes to a T and having to change the improper measurement conversions, the end results don’t taste anything like a recipe you would expect to come from Gordon Ramsay. It all tastes good but definitely no wow factor whatsoever. Sad because I had such high hopes for something coming from Gordon Ramsay.

Gordon Ramsay is my idol in cooking. I’m very happy with the book: have cooked about 10 recipes already, and all of them were easy to cook and very delicious. On the picture are rosemary focaccia and African eggs. The nice surprise was to have extra information about cooking tools, fish, meat, spices etc. that he explains. Totally recommend to everyone who loves to cook!

Got this book as I wanted to expand my cooking skills and get some new dishes into my repertoire, and it certainly did the trick. I'm now eating a lot more exciting food everyday, and I've saved a lot of money doing it. A lot of the essential cooking techniques are described in great detail as well. The portion sizes are mostly pretty accurate too.

If you are a Gordon Ramsay fan, this is a convenient and inexpensive way to have his recipes on hand. I am enjoying working my way through the many recipes, and am pleased with the ones I have made so far. My Kindle is spending a good deal of time in the kitchen as I explore the recipes. And, you can always print out any special favorites.

Wonderful home cookbook! I have several of Gordon Ramsay's recipe home cookbooks and I love them all! I've watched and have enjoyed all of his TV programs and I've wanted to try to cook a lot of the dishes that he and his chefs have cooked. So I've purchased all of his recipe cookbooks that includes all of the recipes in them that I wanted to try to cook myself. The way his recipes are written the dishes are easy to follow. If you love Gordon Ramsay and his dishes you will certainly appreciate and enjoy any of his cookbooks! I can highly recommend them!

We love Gordon Ramsay and watch his home cooking videos almost every day during dinner time, lol We got this book for Christmas and enjoy cooking with it. It was pretty easy to find ingredients in local Asian stores for some recipes and if we can't find something we usually just Google the alternative. Can't wait to try out more of his recipes!

Made the Roasted Stuffed Chicken the other night it was a family hit. Very easy to read and understand, also has YouTube videos showing him cooking the meal step by step (at least for this recipe). Can't wait to try more. Also alot of great basic knowledge for those who have never cooked anything before.

Gordon Ramsay is such an icon!! I never thought I’d be cooking his recipes, but I am!! I love this book, but makes it even greater is the fact it coincides with his Ultimate Cookery Course that is available on Prime Video and Netflix. It’s fun to watch him prepare and cook the recipes that are in this wonderful cookbook. Thank you Chef Ramsay for such a fun and delicious cookbook!!!

This book is the American version that accompanies Gordon's "Ultimate Cookery Coarse: 100 recipes to stake your life on". I saw the coarse on Pluto TV, and was intrigued. Some of the ingredients are ones I have never used, but they can be found in the United States. I really recommend this book if you are a novice, like me, but want to take your skills to the next level.

Got this as a gift for my girlfriend. The book is perfect in every way. The quality of the cover, binding and paper are just gorgeous. Uh the feel of it. The recipes are fantastic; ranging from simple and homey - more complex fusion. My gf is also new to cooking so the introduction got an avid non reader to be buried in a book. Recommend to anyone of any age and will buy again as a gift. Getting his other cook books as well.

What a brilliant cook book! I am a very good cook already but this book will get me to the next level. I did my training in Europe and I love his approach to food. He uses real ingrediants and does not just smother everything in heavy cream, deep fry everything or oversweeten things. His style of cooking is old fashinoned. Use fresh, real ingrediants, put some time in (a lot of recipes are not time consuming at all but taste delicious!) add an interesting twist and voila, you get a great meal. I like the way the book is written and his approach to average people. He is a world class chef but does not talk down to you. The recipes are explained in a very simple and logical way and easy to follow. I also love how he does not just tell you what to do next - he explains you "why" certain things are done a certain way. I have picked up a bunch of good tips already. What this book achieves is, he makes you think and introduces you to not only new recipes, but to a world of spices and combination of foods that I never considered. I have many, many cookbooks, but this has to be one of my top favourite ones.

I love to purchase cookbooks but rarely leave reviews. This cookbook is incredible in my view. I was worried a cookbook by Gordon Ramsay would just be too involved for the everyday cook like me. Well this cookbook is full of easy to make, quick meals that are entirely full of deep flavor. Then add in that he gives technique hints, which have decidedly helped improve my skills. I’m a total fan now.

I'm an Englishman abroad so this is a good choice for me. I have been pleasantly surprised my how much I love the recipes.

I like cooking, and do so several times a week. I'm not a 5 star chef but I'm a pretty good home cook, and this book is perfect for me. I made 3 different recipes from this book so far, and they were all total winners. The book is well written and has gorgeous pictures. The recipes are simple to follow, easy to adapt and not excessively fussy.

Bought it for my brother as a Christmas present last year. He's improved in his culinary skills since then. Would recommend it to anyone that is interested in improving their cooking or trying to impress the ones they love. Worth the buy!

I didn't know until after I bought this book and read other reviews that this cookbook has essentially a companion cooking tv series that aired in the UK under the same name as the UK version of this cookbook--Ultimate Cookery Course. He really breaks everything down so easy, so understandable so that you feel like I can really take on these recipes and his food and do it justice. Having been an avid GR fan for years now, and having indulged in eating at two of his restaurants, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to try to challenge myself to make some of his delicious food. I am just a homecook with no prior knowledge or formal training in the kitchen. I have never worked in the food industry in any capacity unless a 1-week stint at Starbucks counts. In fact, I didn't even start cooking much of anything harder than ramen and scrambled eggs until my mid-20's (and I'm on the verge of turning 30 now). The fact that I've been able to learn so much and elevate my own abilities simply by reading and following many of the tips Gordon's included in this book and on the tv series has been kind of a gamechanger for me. I used to eat out TONS, but there's really little need to do so (except for the occasional quick bite or the indulgent dining experience) when I can simply throw something together that's super flavorful and intensely yummy just by following Gordon's instructions. I've only tried a couple of the recipes out of this book so far, and though I have to make some substitutions here and there if I can't find a certain ingredient (and I live in an area where many culturally diverse foods would be fairly easy to track down, given the nature of ultra-picky/health-conscious/foodie Californian tastes). Each recipe has been a HIT! The boyfriend has loved each recipe, and I've basically been craving more of Gordon's Chile Beef Lettuce Wraps since I've had them. I've also been itching to make variations on his souffle... The point is--even if you don't consider yourself a MasterChef, this book is easy enough to follow. There's definitely a marked Middle Eastern/Indian and Asian influence throughout the book, and a whole section on cooking with spices/chilies, but be adventurous! Try them all! I probably will.

This book was a great investment for me. To date, I have made about 12 of the recipes from the book and every one of them was a hit with the family. The ingredients it asks for are not too hard to locate in a major supermarket. The instructions a pretty simple. And there are some dishes that can be made in about 30 minutes (including prep-time). Also, if you make any of the baked goods in this book, you will pretty much be declared a baking god or goddess. Because it not only amazingly delicious but it comes out perfectly.

Whoda thunk I would be doing a review of Gordon Ramsay! Never thought I would have anything good to say about him. That being said, I now find that this is my go-to cookbook. Recipes are good, relatively simple and seem to work every time. Have tried several and all are easy to follow, well written and most important taste really good. Would recommend this book and will also try another of his books.

Good for getting inspired to cook. Even if you don't follow the instructions 100% of the way through, that's what cooking is all about! Change things up and get excited to cook a good meal for yourself or others.

Bought this as a gift for my boyfriend because he loves to cook and loves Gordon. Read through it and it had a lot of decent recipes and also descriptions. Recommend as a gift or for anyone that loves Gordon and his beef Wellington lol

A gift for my son’s girlfriend, who’s a huge fan! She was thrilled with the gift, and finds the recipes delicious~

I’m impressed with the whole cookbook I haven’t actually cooked anything but I read through it and all recipes are easy to find items at your local stores!! Also I love how he explains how to choose your meats it’s very very detailed!

The recipes are easy to follow! My pasta dish was packed with flavor!

Love it!! Easy to follow and every recipe is fantastic and real food, good food!

My Teenage Grandson Loved this .. gave this to him for Christmas Easy to Follow Recipes even for him .. He loves Gordon!!

Nice cookbook. We like Gordon Ramsey and have over 500 cookbooks and was a nice one to add to our collection

This was a gift for my 16-year-old son who is learning to cook. He loves it. He started cooking from it right away, and has been very successful with the recipes. He's had no trouble finding ingredients, and has not needed much help from me at all. He finds the non-recipe content interesting and helpful as well. I couldn't be happier with this purchase.

I got rid of a lot of my cookbooks in the last year. If they didn't have multiple recipes I made on a regular basis - gone. I added 4 books at the same time (all from Amazon) and they all turned out to be keepers. These are definitely "home recipes" not to say that you couldn't eat them in a nice restaurant, but honestly the prep and execution of these dishes are all realistic for a home cook. The recipes and the section that breaks down proteins and other ingredients are often written with options - "if you don't have this, you can also use this" and in general point the way to other ideas to jazz up tired old menus. I already have several favorites recipes that have become regular dinners in my home.

This is the absolute best cookbook I have ever had, and I have had many. Great recipes, easy to follow. Great tips for cooking

It was a gift. Friend enjoys this book.

I would only wish that there were more recipes or ingredients charts for making some of these meals for single or two persons as most are for larger groups.

I made about 5 of the recipes so far and each one has been fabulous, so YUMMY! Some can be really time consuming to make but I think the dishes were worth the time and effort. This book has brought my cooking skills up several notches. I am using different ingredients, spices and techniques. I can't wait to try more recipes. And I look forward to buying more Gordon Ramsey books. I am a real fan of this chef and after reading this book and actually cooking some of his recipes, I can see why he has won so many Michellin stars and has successful restaurants and tv shows - and I believe that these irecipes probably don't even scratch the surface to what this chef can really do! For me, a home cook, his recipes are so delicious and my husband loves them too, so I will now try to incorporate them (or parts of them) into as many dinners as I can. I can't wait to cook more of his dishes!

Great book very detailed.

Great book. I like how it is based around a home cook. Unlike most books, I had everything on hand for most the recipes. I hate when I get a book and have to special order most the ingredients. Well written and great pictures with fantastic recipes. Mine came already converted for American measure and weights. It was nice to not have too worry about conversions.

Amazing cookbook! Lots of good recipes and information. The reciepes are a little advanced for a beginner but every reciepe is explained perfectly so some advanced dishes are definitley possible. The cookbook itself is very high quality. The hardcover and pages make it very sturdy. I would recommend to anyone who doesn’t yet have it.

FANTASTIC! This is a GREAT cookbook! It was a gift from my wife for Christmas. I watched the Ultimate cookery Course on TV and this book captures all the recipes quite well with the correct measurements for the US market. The full color photos that accompany the recipes were excellent and even coaxed a little drool out of my mouth :). I am implementing some of the recipes shortly with exception to the seafood ones.. Not my cup of tea. One thing that I will say about this book is that is really gives you the information on HOW to cook, not just the ingredients that go into the recipes. What I mean by that is the book has helpful information on how to choose cuts of meat, vegetables, and other ingredients along with definitions on what a specific method of cooking is. Great book for a beginner or advanced cook like myself!

I bought this for my dad's birthday. The quality of the book was great. It is hard bound with strong paper. Ramsay discusses techniques, how to use appliances, and gives a ton of recipes to users. Each page is laid out nice. I want to buy one for my mother in law and husband, so I'll definitely purchase this again. Well worth the price.

What a great cookbook. Recipes are easy to follow and coordinates with series on Prime. Book is nice quality and has a lot of photos of dishes.

The book has both cooking techniques and recipes. It is a great starter's cooking book - easy to follow and teaches good foundations. Will recommend.

I bought this as a gift for my adult son. Having watched Gordon Ramsay's various shows and seen that he has high standards I thought that the recipes would be quite good, and that the format would appeal to a young male. Perusing through the book before I mailed it off I realized that it was an excellent cookbook that I would also have to buy for myself. My son loves it.

Purchased for my fiancé, and he started reading it like a novel. Came as expected and good quality.

Love the chili’s recipes and so many different flavors. Challenges me to feed myself and my family with real food. It’s worth the effort!!

Very good and easy to make recipes

One of my best cook books!

This was a Father’s Day gift for my husband (we both love Chef Ramsay), and he loved it! All of the recipes we’ve made have been jaw-dropping DELICIOUS! We love this book.

Got this for my husband who is a huge fan of Gordon. He made the steak sandwiches the other night and they were exceptionally good!

everything in this book is inspirationally good, even things i would never ever try under normal conditions, such as anchovy pasta

I was astounded when my book arrived and I opened it up to find such graciousness in explaining each of the recipes, plus the additional sections that explain so nicely what to do, how to do it and why. They say the best teachers in the world are those who make complex subjects simple. Chef Ramsay takes you through each recipe so simply and graciously yet to the point, and every recipe is very easy to follow. He explains how to work with spices and offers a wealth of information to home cooks like myself who want to prepare wonderful dishes with extraordinary flavor without a lot of fuss. I love this book and intend to purchase additional copies for my daughters. Wonderful book, absolutely wonderful!

My wife loves it she cooks from it nearly every week and it's always amazing

Great gift any occasion.

Great book, we tried a few recepies and love them. We are Gordon Ramsay fans so this was a great edition to our kitchen.

I would recommend buying his book and watching his shows...

This item is a gift for my Son.

Is there anything this man can not do? He provides how to's and a ton of recipies. Very well written - easy to understand. Love It!

Love it! Package well.

LOVE IT

This book is full of delicious recipes for beginners and more advanced cooks. Got this has a christmas gift and haven't looked back! I've worked my way up to harder recipes from the beginners section and I feel much more confident in my cooking skills.

Love this book. Why? Simple, it teaches you. Gordon Ramsay has always been a favorite chef of mine because he breaks it down to being simple. His dishes are amazing in taste but not complicated in preparing. In this book he walks you through a thought pattern prior to cooking. Do you know how to buy fish correctly? What are the five tastes every professional chef relates too? What spice should you always have on hand and why? I cook a great deal and always enjoy learning new tricks and pairings; but when I got this book I knew I had to get one for my sister-in-law who knows very little about cooking. This books will show her how to begin and become a chef in her own kitchen!

This is one of the best Ramsay books I own. Also, this one has been changed to be Americanized. It uses Fahrenheit, and it uses Americanized measurements. I don't mind doing the math on the UK books, but if you aren't, this is the perfect Ramsay book for you.

My son wanted to learn to cook and watches Gordon Ramsey shows. He loves this book

Great for cooks and collectors

Super cool recipes

Wow, I absolutely love this book, I can't recommend it highly enough! It has many of the recipes from his youtube clips and many more. So far everything I have tried has been incredible. There are sections on recipes for 1 or 2 people, cooking for friends, and also a section on recipes using affordable ingredients. Best culinary/recipe book I've ever bought.

great to have this as a companion to videos

Love him

Gave this as a gift for my husband-to-be and he absolutely loved it. It has amazing intros to each section which explain simple technique and the basics of cooking that particular set of foods (poultry, fish, etc.). We love it and you can't beat the price. Very recommended for the food/cooking lover in your life.

I would give anything to go back in time and give myself this book. It would have saved years of trial and error. The recipes are amazing, and most are quite easy. Whatever you think of Ramsey, he nailed this book like a mistress.

I cant believe how well written this book is. Even a novice and amateur (once in a while) can follow his recipes and cook some of the most fantastic dishes on the planet. The book covers breakfasts, lunches, dinners, desserts, vegetarian meals, meat packed punches and even a good doze of baking. Must have for anyone who wants to experience cooking beyond the traditional dishes. However, I do recommend you find the Gordan Ramsay video of the recipe on Youtube before you begin cooking. It would have been nice that link be provided in the book also, but the video really helps gets the recipe down well.

The facts speak for themselves. I started cooking from this book almost three months ago, and in that time have made twenty-two of the recipes. Several I've made 2-3 times, such as the miso salmon, the fish pie, the pork chops, the moroccan stew, and the farfalle. Do you cook twenty-two recipes in under three months and repeat many if a book isn't absolutely fantastic? No, you don't. Besides stating the bare facts of my experience with this book, I'd also like to point out the breadth of cuisines touched by this book with a limited set of ingredients/seasonings. Sure, I had to go out and buy some new things, like miso paste, dried kaffir lime leaves, shaoxing rice wine, and fish sauce but they don't just get used in one recipe but several (Amazon also makes it easy to procure the more exotic ingredients without hassle if your local grocer doesn't carry them). That's a huge advantage and very economical. Another big advantage, perhaps the biggest, is that there are tutorials of Gordon Ramsay making these dishes on youtube. They're quick and his enthusiasm is contagious. It's also a lot harder to screw up (what are already straightforward recipes) if you see it done, with him giving tips along the way. This book raised our quality of life substantially. Thank you Gordon Ramsay for giving a !!

awesome. His writing style is friendly, the descriptions easy to follow and the food, fantastic. One day, I hope to be considered to have half as much as his talent and skill.

Gave to my son for Christmas and he has prepared several things from it already! He's 22 and a big Ramsay fan.

My family has been loving the recipes in this book! Different takes on some classic recipes have gotten us out of a dinner slump. It has been great to wake up everyone's taste buds and learn some new cooking techniques and cuisines at the same time! We also laugh while cooking, imagining Chef Ramsay yelling at us to 'Piss off!' Great family bonding experience, as my 18yo ordered this cookbook, inspiring all of us to try some new foods and recipes, plus my teen boys are learning to cook some great food! Future husbands in the making! :)

I love the recipe are in the book gives me good ideas to make dinner

I loved the book. Just didn’t like that I paid for two of the same book under different two different titles. The Cookery Course cost more then twice the amount of Home Cooking and they are the same book.

Is a gourmet book made easy by explanations for storing to buying ingredients. The photos are mouth-watering.

Good tips & tricks with 1-2 new recipes for our family. Wife had no complaints.

I bought 1 for me and 1 as a gift, Love this Cook book!! Very easy instructions to follow.

Very good book. It was given as a gift and has barely been put down since it was recieved.

This book is easy to follow, and really teaches you to become a good cook!

I love this cookbook

Highly recommended!

Husband loved it!

Great recipes. Some require tweaking with the amounts and quite often I found Gordon’s YouTube videos for the recipes.

He's my favorite chef and I really recommend this book to all those looking to start a Gordon Ramsey cookbook collection. You actually may only need this one!

Excellent step by step guide to cook Gordon’s signature dishes. Made his beef Wellington and it was excellent!

The recipes I've tried so far in this book are delicious. There's different styles and flavors, and varying levels of difficulty. Compared to some sort of standard steak & potatoes, or chicken & rice, the dishes in this book do require a little more prep work. I find it enjoyable, and my friends like to borrow this book. It's approachable, and there's a thrill of joy when you taste the results. When I have guests, I either do some cultural dish, or a dish from this book. I'd recommend this book to a friend.

Great book. Love the gnocchi recipe. All meals came out perfect.

It was a gift to my son and he loves it :)

I ordered this for my 10-year-old son who is passionate about cooking. We found the information in introduction to be useful, especially for a budding young chef. There is a nice variety of recipes in this book and everything we have tried has been excellent. There are two main problems as far as I am concerned. First, many of these recipes use specialty ingredients that can be tough to find. When I think “home cooking” I think of classic dishes that use pretty common ingredients most well-stocked kitchens will keep on hand. For example, one recipe for steak tacos with wasabi mayo required several specialty ingredients for Asian cooking. We had to try three supermarkets before we found what we needed. Second, we have found that some of the instructions are a bit lacking in detail and/or don’t tell you the amount of a particular ingredient to use. A more experienced cook can figured things out, but a beginner would be baffled. All-in-all this is a great cookbook, but probably better for folks who have a bit of experience under their belt.

My Christmas gift to my nephew, he enjoys cooking and loves Ramsay’s recipes. He loves this cookbook very much

This was a gift for my friend. She loves the layout.

Pictures and directions are clear and direct. The Recipes in the book range from home cooked meals to gourmet dishes that will take some time and effort to prepare and cook. The measurements are adapted for U.S. use and it works out splendidly. The food that you will cook is something new to experience and each dish will open your pallet and taste buds to different parts of the world, this book is not for quick meals that can be cooked on the fly, this is for someone whom is interested in expanding knowledge of culinary arts and furthering their expertise with cultural foods.

Excellent book! Great recipes and advice from Mr. Ramsay!

Brother loved it! It has inspired him to try out some new recipes.

I've been waiting to see if they came out with an American conversion book to go with the TV series and this book is it! So if you liked the series you'll want to get this book to go with it. Can't say enough good things about his style of explanation for steps, so easy to understand which is very important in a cook book.

Love the healthy recipes! Food is great!

I pretty much use the recipes in this book weekly. They're so easy and delicious!

Incredible book. Really valuable tips and hundreds of delicious recipes that are pretty simple to make.

Thanks because all you're books and shows I fall in love with my kitchen again and learn a lot God bless your and you're family

My husband loves Gordon Ramsey and this is a birthday gift and can’t wait for him to use the recipes

Absolutely love this cookbook!!! 😁 I have many cookbooks and this is one of the best. what I love most is his personal thoughts and expierences through out the book and how he breaks the sections down. Each section he briefly discusses the importance and how to's before giving yout several recipes to try out yourself in that section. A perfect example is spices!!! I myself have been terrified of not knowing how to use spice or what spice to even use. In that section Gordon perfectly explains spices, what they are good for, how to determine the flavor they might provide and then provides several recipes with different variety of spices to try out! I would recommend this book!!

Husband loved it!

well written and informative. Kitchen skills and advice are well written. Complex recipies scaled down for the home cook. I recommend this one.

This is a great cookbook. Ramsay gives general cooking instructions in addition to a huge amount of recipes. The recipes tread the line between flavor and simplicity, which makes them much more accessible than some other cookbooks, which devolve into unnecessary complexity. The emphasis is on bold flavors rather than complex cooking steps. Making the recipes in this book gave me a much better understanding of flavors and how to combine basic ingredients into a meal, and gave me the confidence to start experimenting. There are videos by Gordon on YouTube that show him making a number of recipes from this book, which add even more insight.

I love Gordon Ramsay! Enjoyed this book making great meals . We need more Ramsay recipe books on amazon kindle.

Have not had time to look at it; but am sure it will be good!!!!!

Absolutely love these recipes! I’m a very picky eater and this book has single handedly opened my palette to new foods.

Great!!!

Wish I could give this book 6 Stars. Best cookbook I've ever read.

I was expecting this to be a top of the line chef book. Written by one of the best chefs. I thought there would be pages and pages of elaborate dishes. Instead I find a book full of basic recipes for a chef. Chile butter corn??? Really Mr. Ramsey??? Yes on of the dishes in this cook book is nothing but corn with butter and a chile sauce.... Then there was the lettuce taco.... Who in their right mind wants to hold a piece of lettuce while they bite into their lettuce taco.... What it looks like is he wanted to make a cook book that the commoner could make and I don't know about you but I wanted to become more like a chef not make some recipe that is a paupers dish dressed up like a chefs recipe. I wish I would have reviewed the book before buying because I would never have bought it now that I have seen a half dozen recipes. I am really hoping the rest of the book redeems my the money I paid. Just one more thing I am going to have to do because I swear nobody does anything right. The world will just have to wait for me until then.. you get mediocre merchandise.

very interesting recipes, I wouldn't mind more pictures

It is a great book!!

I love this book and enjoy making the recipes.

Very helpful book. I looked up some of his tips on line & found videos, which was great. Buy it.

A good book for those who like cooking.

Made my Gordon Ramsay fan very happy.

Gordon has inspired me to become the chef that I am today. This book and all his others are simple and easy to understand for beginners. This and all his others are great choices and should be checked out.

Amazing book

I guess my days of using the microwave to make dinner or buying hamburger helper are definitely over. Wanted to improve upon my cooking skills, which mainly consisted of using the microwave, so I decided to get a cookbook from one of the most celebrated chefs. No regrets so far. His timing is spot on and the techniques he teaches in the book are a tremendous help. Dishes are simple enough to make and always come out tasting great. My girlfriend and family are impressed with the dishes I make. They always want me to cook now hahaha. I will definitely be getting other books from him in the future and I definitely recommend this book to anyone trying to pick up cooking or wanting to improve upon their skills.

The book is extremely well organized, the instructions are clear and precise. Love it, The recipes work superbly well. i have tried several already

This is one of the best books by him

Great recipes

Love this book

really good recipes

Excellent

Another great cook book by Gordon Ramsay. I have found the recipes to make here very tasty, and rather easy to make. The ingredients are also easy to acquire and in my opinion not very expensive (which is great for a graduate student who wants to eat healthy). Great book! Highly recommended. Also recommended to watch his TV series on youtube where he discusses his same recipes.

You can find a lot of these recipes on his website, youtube channel. They aren’t always the same instructions or ingredients for the same recipes. Would prefer better consistency or maybe an explanation for those of us less experienced and left wondering. (Just means you get to practice!) Some of the ingredients are not even realistic (or even possible) to get in rural America, while others make for a very expensive grocery list. Otherwise, there is a lot of good information and a great read for a complete rookie. Really helps build some confidence in the kitchen and skip a lot of the growing pains that might otherwise deter you.

Great recipes that make it easy to make good weeknight meals.

Typical Ramsey; full of great ideas; and full of interesting advice! Great book!

Super clear recipes. I have cooked 6 dishes from the book and they are just so flavorful, love it so far!

I started to follow these recipes and techniques. Best Steak I've ever made!! I felt confident in the kitchen.

great read!

Wonderful recipes and commentary.

Gordon Ramsay wrote this in such a simple fashion. My wife loves it and I look forward to quite a few tasty meals.

HE SO AMAZING! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE BOOK! YOU CAN NEVER GO WRONG WITH GORDON!

Wonderful

Daughter loved it

I adore this book. An excellent collection of a diverse variety of Gordon's recipes, along with fantastic tips and techniques. So many of these recipes I'm sure will become second nature to most people and will become part of your personal kitchen arsenal.

My boyfriend absolutely loved it. It includes a few of Gordon Ramsay's signature dishes which is great. I cant wait to start using the recipes inside more often. Also love that the recipes include realistic proportions so you arent just eating a delicious cracker, you are getting a meal for 2, 4, or more people.

Very informative!

Bought this for my son. It's beautiful and step by step makes it perfect. Definitely easy, home cooking

Nice recipes!

Gordon Ramsey is no stranger to presentation. I bought this book for my wife, as she is a cook and great admirer of his. That being said, many of the photos in this book are bland or very basic looking. The majority of the recipes have no photos, and the ones that DO have photos seem particularly boring or overly simple. There are a few exceptions, but you would think that a man who demands perfection of his cooks, would do the same for those who photograph his cuisine. No matter how simple the recipe.

I bought this book as I ha e several of his others. I find Gordon's recipes really easy to follow for some spectacular results. This is the same content as his other book "Ultimate cooking course " and in hindsight, I would have preferred to have purchased that one (only because the measurements are in the "Ultimate cooking course" are in Metric which I am more used to. There are a number of mistakes in the book but these are minor (like "remove the lid and simmer with the lid on) !!!!!! Overall it is a great book and highly recommended. Other titles that I would recommend are his "Quick and Delicious" and "Bread street" cookbooks.

Bought it as a gift, seems very nice and well written

Have this as a gift to my son — first night we cooked the short ribs together. I’ve been using a complicated recipe for my ribs from another chef that takes two days — one to marinate. These, following Gordon’s simpler recipe, we’re as good, or maybe better. While the table of contents is unnavigable, you can find what you’re looking for through the detailed index. But it’s more fun to simply page through the beautiful book with great photos (!) and pick something to cook. Highly recommended

Great for a novice or skilled chef.

Gordon Ramsey is the Johnny Appleseed of 21'st century cuisine: he travels the earth spreading hi-end knowledge about the science of cooking well...easy to read and to execute his fresh,healthy recipies.

Wonderful

Recipes are really great. I enjoy the tips and the emphasis on using fresh ingredients that I can easily find.

What an amazing cook book. Gordon's recipes are simple and easy to create, and taste quite wonderful. Kudos for a superb value.

I was pleasantly surprised to fine the recipes simple and delicious! I had anticipated complicated and weird ingredients, that is not the case. I love this cookbook. Every recipe I have made has been a hit with my friends.

Loved all the detail and extra things I learned about Gordon ❤️

Outstanding not your typical cookbook.....incorporates simple ingredients you can find at you local grocery store....simple meals outstanding results.

This has become one of my most used cook books now. Love Gordon's recipes and each one is a culinary adventure!

Ramsey does everything well when it comes to cooking. Book is easy to read, instructions are complete and leaves nothing to the imagination.

Got my book really fast and I live in Canada! I swear amazon.com is faster than amazon.ca its insane. Anyway, the book is really cool. He gives you a few pointers on simple things that we all need to know in the kitchen. Recipes all sound yummy.. it isnt a boring simple one culture type book- there are tons of recipes from the entire world.. just elevated to Ramsays standards. He even put in a few recipes for budget friendly meals! Fish section, baking section, etc. Definitely going to try something like the raspberry cheesecake.. mmmm..

SIMPLE STEPS ON CREATING GREAT MEALS, GOT OUR WHOLE FAMILY STIRRING TO POT!! WOULD RECOMMEND FOR BEGINNERS TO GET THE TASTE BUDS A-FLOWIN

Perfect.

Well written and very informative

This is great for wowing people (both a guest and yourself). If you want to make an amazing meal and are willing to spend the time on it, Ramsay's recipes are amazing. His burger recipe in this thing is one of the most delicious things I've ever tasted.

My boyfriend and I love to cook and love Gordon Ramsay! I’ve made a few of the recipes out of here so far and they are delish! Our favorite so far is the bolognese. So yummy!

I bought this for my boyfriend for Christmas and it was perfect. Has soo many recipes. Very happy with purchase.

I like Gordon Ramsay and he has a lot of great recipes.

My new favorite! Came perfect. No scratches, bent or anything. Full page recipes and photos. Also seen some easy recipes for beginners to understand. I’m very pleased. He’s my idol and this will be cherished and definitely used during the holidays.

Practical for home cooking with flavors to rival restaurants. Gordon is no joke and must know what its like to home cook. This is the single best investment I have made in my kitchen. Many of the recipes have accompanying videos you can find and watch on the net.

Anyone moving out, getting married or being on their own should be given this book even if your a little older like me it's an excellent read. It is an excellent guide for setting up your kitchen and easy good recipes to follow. I wish I could have had this book years ago.

What can I say. Everything that he does I love. Its easy and thorough. It is even nice to read before bed.

Great cookbook. I just wish there were more of the recipes for more dishes from Hell's Kitchen as we aren't close enough to one to taste it often so I had hoped to be able to recreate them. Too many recipes require items I either don't recognize or are too hard to find in my area.

I think what makes simple dish delicious and up a notch is knowing how to use herbs. This is exactly what this book will teach you. Some people complaint it's not always easy to get all the ingredients suggested by this book, but it's kinda what Gordon says once you invested the initial cost for dried herbs and condiments, they will last for months and you will have simple yet delicious and elegant dishes everyday!

I have made several recipes! My family loved them! I have learned the proper way of cooking a flavorful, moist hamburger! The blondies recipe is amazing‼️

Everything you would expect from a cook book. The content of the book is up to date with Gordon's techniques and suggestions. Open your mind to the exciting recipes in this book.

Beautiful cookbook just wow I’ve flipped through it twice now after opening the box it came in perfect condition even a day early... the recipes are American measurements I was worried it would be something I would be converting but it’s all easy to follow ..
