Book Reviews of Gordon Ramsay's Healthy Appetite

Book Review: Healthy Flavorful Recipes
Summary: 4 Stars

This was my first celebrity cookbook, so I was skeptical. Contrary to my fears of finding expensive ingredients that can't be found, Ramsay's recipes struck me as simple... not only in prep time, but also in the number of steps. As a nod to busy moms, the dishes have been timed to come together with minor forethought.

Eye-pleasing colors and an easy-to-ready design enhance the book further; the pages are nearly the thickness of card-stock, resistant to tearing, folding or wrinkling - a handy thing when squinting at a page over a hot stove of bubbling pots. The efficiency theme continues with recipes arranged in meal sections, rather than grouped by ingredient.

The book claims healthy, flavorful recipes... and it delivers just that. We chose three dinner items and a dessert to attempt for our family of six: braised lambs steaks, a side of lentils with green beans, spinach goat cheese soufflé and vanilla pannacota with blueberry sauce. Having never cooked soufflé I was floored when the concoction actually came out golden and delicious; a bakery loaf of French bread rounded out the meal.

My husband enjoyed all the dishes; there was nary a tidbit left on the children's plates. One would hardly have guessed the food we'd consumed was healthy. The verdict: a filling, celebrity meal for six - made at home, with dessert, for under $40 in ingredients.
