Book Reviews of Gordon Ramsay Makes It Easy

Book Review: Everything I expected
Summary: 5 Stars

Gordon Ramsey has a variety of TV shows. One of the shows he is a most patient teacher to one lucky home cook for a special occasion. It is because of watching that show I wanted to get one of his cook books. On that show and in this book the message is the same - Good cooking does not have to be difficult or intimidating.

When I first glanced through the book it appeared to be a waste - ingredients that I don't like or never heard of or can't find at my store. Then I sat down to really take a good look at each one and see if there wasn't something in there.

I saw how I could substitute here & there and still end up with something pretty good. The flavors may not be exactly what Chef Ramsey intended, but it will still be good. The book even encourages some substitutions: snapper is suggested instead of mullet. I can also use the internet to find acceptable options - instead of crème fraīche (which I can't find locally), I can use Crema Mexicana (locally available).

Some of things that I normally would not eat, I'm going to try anyway - just to see if the way they are prepared makes a difference. All I have to loose is one lousy dinner. I may find some new favorites in the process. Already I have found out there is at least one way that I will eat eggplant - something I normally avoid. Now there are about 2/3 of the recipes that I have marked to try at least once.

I tried 3 of the recipes so far: a main, a side and dessert. All three had easy to follow directions and came out pretty much as showed in the pictures. All of the techniques are easy enough for someone new to the kitchen. Above all it was simple food with great flavors. I also liked the back section talking about what's in his kitchen. While my kitchen will never be on that level, I did find a few things that I will add to mine.

Other reviews say this is for the "novice". I guess they mean novice Chef. I'm sure most home cooks will enjoy this book - from the brand new beginner to a more seasoned home cook. As has been pointed out, if you are a Chef, these recipes are likely a refresher for you.
