About the author

Gordon James Ramsay is a British celebrity chef, restaurateur, television presenter, and writer. His restaurant group, Gordon Ramsay Restaurants, was founded in 1997 and has been awarded 17 Michelin stars overall and currently holds eight. His signature restaurant, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in Chelsea, London, has held three Michelin stars since 2001. After rising to fame on the British television miniseries Boiling Point in 1999, Ramsay became one of the best-known and most influential chefs in the world.
Ramsay's TV persona is defined by his fiery temper, aggressive behaviour, strict demeanour, and frequent use of profanity, while making blunt, critical, and controversial comments, including insults and sardonic wisecracks about contestants and their cooking abilities. He combines activities in the television, film, hospitality and food industries, and has promoted and hired various chefs who have apprenticed under his wing. He is known for presenting television programmes about competitive cookery and food, such as the British series Hell's Kitchen (2004), Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares (2004–2009, 2014), and The F Word (2005–2010), with Kitchen Nightmares winning the 2005 British Academy Television Award for Best Feature, and the American versions of Hell's Kitchen (2005–present), Kitchen Nightmares (2007–present), MasterChef (2010–present), and MasterChef Junior (2013–present), as well as Hotel Hell (2012–2016), Gordon Behind Bars (2012), Gordon Ramsay's 24 Hours to Hell and Back (2018–2020), and Next Level Chef (2022–present).
Ramsay was appointed an OBE by Queen Elizabeth II in the 2006 New Year Honours list for services to the hospitality industry. He was named the top chef in the UK at the 2000 Catey Awards, and in July 2006 he won the Catey for Independent Restaurateur of the Year, becoming the third person to win three Catey Awards. Forbes listed his 2020 earnings at US $70 million and ranked him at No.19 on its list of the highest-earning celebrities.

This book has an excellent collection of recipes. Always have been a fan of Gordon. I always try to make his recipes when I can. Great book!

Me and my boyfriend love Chef Ramsay and his shows, and I often watch his recipes on Facebook, so I decided to give this book to my boyfriend for his birthday. We have tried some recipes and they were okayish... We are not sure if we made mistakes making them or not, but the dishes were neither awesome nor bad, just okayish. I also tried one dessert from the book and it turned out okayish too, not too bad but nothing spectacular. So I'll give this book three stars because sadly we are not amazed but we will keep trying to make more dishes and hopefully change our minds.

An excellent collection of recipes. Always a fan and always try to cook when I can, and this has given me not only new ideas of recipes to try but informed me on some cooking essentials I will need to get my hands on to make more of these dishes. Have tried five meals so far from the book and all have turned out great for my cooking level and experience. All the recipes are straightforward and easy to follow, with extra little tips along the way.
Five stars! Get this book!

I am definitely a fan of Gordon Ramsay, whether it be his tv shows or in this case books. Some amazing insight, some basics and common sense covered as well as more complicated recipes, a great layout, clean and simple. What more could you want from a great cook book.

Errors in editing. Recipes are interesting but do not address dishes made today. An earlier Gordon Ramsey cook book had as a first recipe Salmon Kedergee … incredibly easy to make, modern, and in tune with young people today.

Otherwise a great read and I will try three recipes in the next week.

Kurz vorweg: dies ist keine echte Rezension, sondern eine "wieso gerade dieses Kochbuch"-Erläuterung.
Gordon Ramsay ist wohl der erfolgreichste britische Sternekoch (16 Michelinsterne insgesamt); ich mochte ihn bis vor kurzem nicht sonderlich, da er von seiner Art her wie England's Antwort auf Dieter Bohlen wirkt. Letzte Woche war ich in London zum Essen verabredet & wir wollten richtig großartig essen. Von den im Internet verfügbaren Speisekarten machten die von den Ramsay-Restaurants den leckersten Eindruck - und nicht nur, weil dort nirgends Knochenmark vom Rind mit Schnecken als Vorspeise auftauchte. Das scheint dort gerade sehr angesagt zu sein. Wir haben schliesslich woanders sehr gut gegessen (hatten nicht die erwähnte Vorspeise, die es dort aber gab).
Ich habe dann in London in einem Buchladen nach diesem Kochbuch geguckt - leider gibt es bei WH Smith außer Zeitungen & Zeitschriften sowie Snacks & Soda aber höchstens Taschenbücher... Letztendlich habe ich mir nach meiner Rückkehr das 1. Kapitel von Ultimate Home Cooking als Leseprobe herunter geladen und habe mir ganz schnell den Rest gekauft - die Gerichte auf den Fotos sehen einfach nur lecker aus und die Rezepte lassen sich anscheinend relativ leicht nachkochen & enthalten keine exotischen Zutaten. Ich werde ein Update posten, nachdem ich 2-3 Rezepte nachgekocht habe.

I Ordered this book as it was on offer at amazon
Its a nice Hard back book with some good recipes there will be a few I will try in the next couple of weeks I haven't given it a higher rating as I just think that although I will use it I think there are much better cookbooks out there and ones I have in my collection that I will use much more
