Learn About Gordon Ramsay's Cooking Course

[blackmint]

Firstly, I do not really like Gordon Ramsay's attitude, and know something he did in the past that I did not consider him a good person. With all that has happened between me and him.

 

BUT This book, simply amazing, is more than a book to use everyday with simple recipes than other cookbook books included. And you do not need a better knowledge or how to handle components and what not. I keep this book in my closet and run it almost daily for ideas.

I would like to do something meaningful for Gordon Ramsay's!

Interesting. I've never really gone in for Ramsay, for some reason.

 

I do like people like Simon Hopkinson (who used to write excellent recipes in the Independent, many of which I cut out) and Bruce Poole, who were at Bibendum and Ruth Rogers and Jamie Oliver who are/were at the Rive Cafe, both of these being in London. 

 

A US cookery book I enjoyed very much was Antony Bourdain's. He sold me one thing in particular: the importance of making STOCK. This is something that has really improved a lot of the dishes I cook, and as he says, it is not at all difficult. You just need to remember to do it, once in a while, and keep some stock (chicken is the most versatile) in the freezer.
