Notes about Recipes in this book

  • My roasted tomato soup

    • SuzyP on November 27, 2022

      Delicious! Did not have smoked sun-dried tomatoes, instead added some hickory liquid smoke and also some chilli flakes and chipotle Cholula.

    • TLouise on December 28, 2020

      This is not the simplest tomato soup I have ever made but it really is a good one, its one of my husband's favorites.

  • Warm salad of saffron red mullet with ratatouille

    • ruth115 on May 29, 2014

      used hake, skin stuck to pan- non stick may be better

  • Salad of seared tuna with a sauté of Treviso

    • ruth115 on January 09, 2019

      Delicious and simple. Marinade needs more ingredients.

  • Green herb risotto with sautéed scallops

    • Westprog on November 03, 2022

      The wine reduction is very rich, though delicious, and this might well be something that could be replaced with something lighter. The scallops and the herbs have a great flavour, so it isn't absolutely necessary to use up about a bottle of wine on the sauce. We doubled the quantities for five people, and it just about was enough.

Gordon Ramsay's style of cooking is light, healthy, and based on the use of fine quality, fresh ingredients in prime condition. He applies his wealth of culinary knowledge and creativity to transform these ingredients into brilliant dishes that taste sublime. Just how does he do it? In Chef's Secrets, Gordon Ramsay reveals all. This fascinating book is much more than a collection of superb recipes from this highly acclaimed chef. It will explain clearly many of the secrets of his techniques, knowledge and skills. The recipes are presented in a clear and easy-to-follow way, with detailed descriptions and clear photographs of Gordon's special techniques, his brilliant short cuts, and other culinary hot tips. Gordon will also, where relevant, show how a relatively straightforward recipe can be varied or embellished to take the dish onto a higher plane. For example a simple, fresh-tasting watercress soup is taken to the next level with an oyster garnish, or a poached egg. For convenient reference, recipes are arranged according to the type of food: fish, poultry and game, meat, fruit etc. There are also hints on buying, storing and preparing the prime ingredients for Gordon's classy but essentially uncomplicated recipes. As with all Gordon's books, special effort is taken to ensure that the recipes are suitable for the home cook. The unique addition of many of the prepare-ahead and time-saving techniques used in his restaurants enables the reader to plan meals with the minimum of fuss and entertain effortlessly.
