Notes about this book

  • LouiseStaley on March 14, 2013

    Gordon Ramsay is of course pretty daggy these days. Despite the Michelin stars, the TV series have tarnished the brand and made it easy to downgrade a book like this. This book is family cooking, by which I mean family favourites, short ingredients lists, and easy techniques. But it is excellent in its flavour combinations, has many good ideas for vegetable sides and has really precise instructions. There are no duds here.

Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Pan-roasted scallops with cauliflower puree

    • LouiseStaley on March 14, 2013

      Excellent presentation of a classic. Works every time and makes for a sophisticated starter or lunch dish.

  • Pommes boulangère

    • LouiseStaley on March 14, 2013

      Another classic recipe from Gordon, presented with fail-safe instructions for an easy, delicious, yet not overly heavy potato dish.

  • Beef casserole

    • LouiseStaley on March 14, 2013

      I've made this perhaps twenty times. It is where I end up every time I want to make casserole despite having many other options on the shelf. It delivers on flavour and is easy, what more do you want from a casserole?

  • Braised red cabbage

    • allan501856 on December 19, 2025

      This list of ingredients has brown / light muscavado sugar missing from it .

  • Pumpkin risotto with Parmesan

    • hbakke on December 02, 2019

      Delicious recipe. I used Red Kuri squash in place of the pumpkin and it worked well. The risotto gets very thick after the addition of the squash so should probably add more broth next time.

  • Malaysian chicken

    • nicolepellegrini on January 23, 2026

      A fine curried chicken dish. Not much else to say.

  • Coconut rice

    • TLouise on December 28, 2020

      Made a nice rice but it didn't taste very much like coconut. My husband thought it was plain rice.

  • Beef Wellington

    • TrishaCP on December 26, 2015

      There are a few different Gordon Ramsay Beef Wellington recipes floating around, but this is the one that you want because it uses English mustard, which is an amazing counterpoint to the richness of the rest of the dish. His directions are precise and pretty much foolproof- just don't forget to take the string off the beef. The on-line link is here: http://gordonramsaysrecipes.com/03/gordon-ramsays-beef-wellington/

  • Carrot, beetroot and orange salad

    • nicolepellegrini on September 15, 2018

      Nice side dish with grilled pork chops.

  • Strawberry, peach and ginger crumble

    • darkpizza on April 19, 2026

      Meh. It's hard to go wrong with sugar + fruit but I've definitely had better cobblers. The strawberry + peaches + ginger combo is great but the topping was mediocre at best.

Publishers Text

In his new cookbook, superstar chef Gordon Ramsay takes a more casual approach to fine dining--the leisurely brunch with family and friends. Drawing on different culinary traditions, he offers home-cooked dishes that range from traditional roasts to lighter summer fare, from easy 30-minute meals to Italian, Indian, and Moroccan-influenced family feasts. As always, Ramsay is right there to help at every stage--buying the ingredients, guiding in preparation and serving, and helping to ensure that all dishes arrive on the table at the same time. Featured are 25 menus derived from his popular TV show, The F-Word, each with a starter, main course, and dessert, plus an invaluable timetable and a plethora of handy hints. Alternative recipes and menu suggestions are provided for those who want to pick and choose. With spectacular color photography throughout, as well as expert culinary advice and techniques, the book is a must-have for any home cook.
