Reviews of Gordon Ramsay Cooking for Friends

Here is a summary of the comments of Gordon Ramsay 's cooking for friends. On average, the book won very high with fourteen of the eighteen reviews at Amazon UK score that four or five stars.

"Gordon Ramsay is a great chef – but sometimes their recipes may be too complex for the enthusiastic amateur like me.

However, this book is correct – that the recipes are excellent and there are some great things here but, above all, the recipes are well written and easy to follow.

I think this is perfect for those who want to cook quality food for dinner, but not spend several days in the kitchen preparing for it!

Highly recommended. "

"This book is full of inspiration and easy to follow recipes, photography and lots of delicious personal touches and anecdotes that make this book real one ''. I like the shape of the dishes prepared with accessible ingredients and sometimes celebrity cook books are full of ingredients that are hard to find or expensive. In fact I love the old and simple meal 'Element', but above all the recipes are for right "good food, ideal for family meals and social anxiety free days and preparation beforehand.

A must have for everyone who loves to cook good food with simple ingredients and quality. "

"I have about 20 cookbooks, but this is the one most in use. I've bought a few friends, so this speaks volumes. I can not recommend this book enough! "

"It 's probably the most frequently heard complaint in reviews of cookbooks, especially the celebrity chef." There aren ' t enough pictures. "How do you presume to know what it looks like when it 's over? What heading? Even for a simple recipe, ' s good to have an image. Moreover, 's often the photos of the recipe-made meal that inspire to make an attempt to create for himself.

If this is something that bothers you, perhaps away from this book. Although quite handsome, I 'd say only a quarter of the meals have accompanying photos. This could not be so bad if there were tens t 'completely irrelevant image taking the place of potentially useful ones. We are treated throughout the book's images Ramsay sitting, Ramsay with his head in his hands, Ramsay sitting at outdoor table with a bunch of friends, Ramsay sit at the table with his friends again. If you buy the book, you 'll know what you ' Chef Ramsay 'appears, and probably don ' t give a shit what your friends look like.

There are also many photos that are not meals, but the ingredients. Instead of the finished dish, you might get a few mackerel on a work surface Swedish or chopped in half, or two eggs on a plate with a feather. It 's no sense and often exasperating slightly.

The discomfort a bit more to one side sa 'nice book. Recipes inevitably have a pleasant taste, for example, the stew fisherman 's. The lists of ingredients can be a bit long – That 's not a book that is used every day – but most of them are things that are less readily available. Too many cookbooks that call for things like toast or strained eyes fairy dreams of ocelots.

This book won t 'to make a three-star chef, and cooking for friends nickname is a bit unjustified, and that 's no reason why these dishes should be made exclusively for large groups, as they can be made by any number of people. But a really nice feature for meals, which is after all, the purpose of a book like this. You 'll just have to assume that what comes out of the oven is the way it 's claims. "

"I bought a signed copy of an independent seller on Amazon, and I was very excited to receive it. So far I have made the Shepherd 's Pie with Branston pickle, and lamb stew and prune and both were superb. I can 't wait to try some recipes, as I'm sure it will be just as good. The book itself is really nice quality with some beautiful photos (unlike most people reviewing this book, I quite like some photos of Gordon!) "

"Looks like there was a change in the style of Chef Ramsay's books recently, since the launch of Chef * 3 has been moved back to more basic home cooking. And for all cooks Keem home that is a good thing. While previous books were nice hos the light and full of wonderful recipes that were very expensive and time consuming to do.

Cooking with friends is a real back to basics, cookbook quality, have a stove with all the time.

As usual, well presented, with great photos, tips and suggestions of the great man and quite a few dishes good too. It 's the type of food to cook and eat on a regular basis things like chicken pot pie, broccoli soup, blue cheese cakes, cooking etc. Real good quality home. The book is well presented, with sections on:

1. Hot and cold water Soups – roasted Inc Chestnut, parsnip and Apple, cauliflower curry cheddar cheese, oxtail, chilled cucumber

2. Pasta and Grains – Linguine with feta cheese and lemon basil, Kedgeree, lentils and goat cheese beet salad

3. Seafood – Fish curry, red mullet, mackerel diabla

4. Meat and poultry – rabbit stew, honey roasted ham, duck port wit and cherries,

Pies and tarts (my favorite bit!) – Raised Game Pie, chicken pie, smoked salmon and horseradish cream tarts

5. Vegies and salads

6. Puddings – Apple meringue pie Lemon Trifle

coffee and chocs – dark wedge cake, coffee and choc pots

A great book that will keep your "test very happy for a long time"

"Full of quick and easy recipes that even someone with most basic knowledge of the kitchen would find easy to follow, the highest score in Amazon for a great price. "

"I bought this for my brother who is a chef out in their own right, found both entertaining and easy to follow and gives a good insight on how to prepare and cook dishes in a new variety of ways. A good buy, even for intermediate culinary operator. "

"Books of Gordon Ramsey 's recipe ever particularly appealed to me and I t 'until he no this as a gift. As mentioned by other reviewers the emphasis seems to be mainly in Gordon, with lots of pictures of him sitting on tables, etc, but that 's not entirely surprising as I think he ' s one of the most overexposed on television these days. He did not t 'even deign to photograph demonstrating a recipe from this book.

Having said all this, I think the recipes in this book are very good and the few I've tried has been delightful. I was very surprised to learn that they were written by the number of Gordon s '2 Mark Sargeant, but maybe that s 'which means being a celebrity is everything. Gordon name 's sold, I doubt that they have been given this book if you had not t ' had the famous man in the front. "

"This book is full of inspiring and easy to follow recipes, photography and plenty of delightful touches and personal anecdotes that make this book real one ''. I like the way the dishes are prepared with accessible ingredients and sometimes celebrity cookbooks are filled with ingredients that are hard to find or expensive. In fact I love the old and simple food 'element', but above all recipes are for right "good food, ideal for family meals and social, without days of anxiety and preparation beforehand.

A must for anyone who loves to cook good food with simple ingredients and quality. "

"I'm generally not impressed by Gordon 's" ran "Which he called" high energy "for the kitchen. However, his recipes are usually easy to follow and as tasty as it gets – if that 'S what you want you won t ' be disappointed. Cookbooks do not need anything more than that – why I rated 4 stars only? The simple answer is that I do not like her not to cook, not related to the introduction of the prescription and the title. Once it 's rant Delia ' s "cheating" approach led him to donate all her cookbooks Delia to a charity shop. My second "favorite" is the revelation that his wife has started to cook something vegetarian for children once a week. These statements are not only unnecessary distracting the subject, which is food. I love and excellent cuisine good food but in the end, not food 's world peace so stop ranting, argueing and complacency. In my humble opinion the only absolute the world of cooking is to cook yourself and avoid fast food / ready meals. So no matter if you are using cheats and inexpensive ingredients if this creates the conditions basic to be cook.

The other is upset about the title. Nothing in this book refers to "cook for friends, that 's just a selection of recipes that every day is appropriate and at any time.

In summary: A decent cookbook with a misleading title, but good very good selection of recipes written by a chef with an attitude. "

"I have all the books of Gordon Ramsey 's and it is ideal for people who think that everything you create is expensive

This book deals with things like oxtail soup recipe is simple and easy to make

I strongly recommend this title to cook every day with the touch of Ramsey "

"I ma 'a big fan of cookbooks Gordon s ' and I think this is the best yet. I agree with another reviewer that the recipes are much easier to follow than other books I have, and I think I 'll actually use more of them because of it.

And I like the look of the interiors rather than the other books too. It 's not as cluttered and is very intelligent – But I think it 'll add some of my own splash plate. " About the Author
