Another Ramsay book where nobody tests the recipes December 5, 2008 Mark Wilson (UK) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
The first recipe I tried was for a sticky chicken dish, the glaze when made exactly to the recipe was incredibly runny and ended up broiling the chicken, it would never have worked given the amounts of ingredients specified. This same lack of attention was apparent in his wife's book of home cooking too. Very disappointing.
Disappointed September 24, 2008 Storm in a tea-cup (Irl.) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this book because it's Gordon Ramsay and it was on special on Amazon. I found the book badly laid out and the pages too busy looking. The recipes are good but I've hardly used it because I don't like the look (or feel!) of the book.
Gordon Ramsay's Fast Food August 12, 2008 inconstant gardener (Wales UK) 0 out of 3 found this review helpful
Don't buy this book uness you're sure you like Gordon's style. As with most fast food stuff, it doesn't present a realistic timescale which can cover everything you need to put into a meal. I don't usually eat my carbo stuff separately from the rest, but find eg spuds are presented as a separate recipe. Most of the recipes need contstant attention to the main ingredients to get quick timing. Unless you're going for size 0 this is normal length cookery.
Great Tasting fast food May 28, 2008 Mr. A. Gifford (Stoke, UK) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is the book to turn to after a long day at work, but you want something tasty for dinner.Put away the takeaway menus, almost all the dishes in this book are quicker and tastier.Not to mention a whole lot better for you.Stock up with a few essentials, follow the recipies, and you can have great food on the table, and still have time to "play". Excellent
Great book May 4, 2008 - (London, UK) 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought this book and received the Silverspoon as a gift. I ended up making more from this one and sold the Silverspoon. It's a great book. I tried many recipes and they are really tasty, easy to make (no exotic ingredients difficult to find as in others book) and overall quick. Believe me, I am italian and food must be tasty for me. I went from starters to pudding and all was up to expectations. I recommend this book to anyone and will buy more from Gordon. He's is the n.1 in UK. Buon appettito!
