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.

I cannot believe how easy these recipes are. This is defiantly a cook book to buy. The pictures are gorgeous, it's wonderfully explained and includes a DVD showing how to make about five of the recipes. My mouth waters just flipping through. It's perfect for a beginner home cook.

Really enjoy watching english chefs such as G.Ramsay, J.Oliver, even found the delicious Ms Dahl a pleasure to watch recently. Was wondering if Gordon Ramsay actually knew how to cook, because I hadn't actually seen him cooking in his show "Kitchen Nightmares"; but I remember him cooking just a little in the "F word". I like some of Ramsay's recipes in this particular book, I want to try his Lemon Pie but I don't know where on earth I'll be able to find a blow torch for the caramelised crust on top! Some of his ingredients/tools aren't something we normal non-chefs have just lying around. His repetitive use of free-range eggs/yolks/chickens gets a little tiring, geez Gordon- we get it, some people don't actually earn a chef's salary & can't afford to eat only the best ingredients- and tiger prawns/salmon/asparagus/mullet aren't things that we can eat every day! I wish he'd put in a little more traditional english recipes, like a few different pie recipes or something...Don't get me wrong, I do actually enjoy watching his shows, but I expected just a little bit more from him.

After seeing him for years on tv, and hearing his opinions on Masterchef (among other shows), I decided to buy one of his cookbooks. I read a recommendation on Barnes & Noble that said this book is good for home cooks, that the recipes are more like everyday cooks would use.

I'm not sure if that description fits. There are more fish recipes in this cookbook than any other cookbook that's not labeled "Fish Cookbook"! More than half of the meat recipes are for fish. Which may just encourage me to cook more fish :) I like fish. I do. But for some reason, I just don't want to cook it. His recipes may give me the confidence to cook some fish.

There are more than fish recipes in this book; there are stews, soups, lamb, vegetables, and even one I don't believe I have in any of my cookbooks: chateaubriand!

Again, I haven't tested any of the recipes for ease of following, or turning out as intended. That takes some time. However, it'll remain near my kitchen to give me every opportunity to try out cooking as the English do it ;)

my son wants to be a chief, and we love Hell's kitchen. We started watching Hell's Kitchen because I wanted him to see the kind of people he could be working for, and the pressure situations, etc. In spite of all that, he still wants it.

This book is filled with simple yet delicious recipes made by my favorite English chef. I enjoyed reading his views of qualities of meats and breads while giving advice of what types of produce and products to look for and the best ways to prepare and cook them. I hope that I will one day be able to achieve success as that of Gordon Ramsay with my own culinary desires and acting wishes.
