Gordon Ramsay's Fast Food: Recipes from "The F Word"

This book is very good. with easy to follow and create recipes.

Siempre se acierta con los libros de esta gran persona, este gran chef, aunque los mejores son los últimos que ha sacado estos años.

This shouldn't be your first -- or your only -- cooking book. It just ain't a comprehensive everyday kind of tome. But it is a great book for people that want to create high-end food that is fresh and modern -- and do it quickly. I've already cooked several of the recipes, including breakfast eggs, dinner lemon chicken and spiced pan-roasted apples/pears. All have been a real treat. Using fresh ingredients and quick cooking you end up with real tasty stuff. Many of the recipes have a long-ish list of ingredients, but none are very hard to prepare. You will impress anyone you are cooking for with this book. Good stuff: Covers large range of meals, soup to seafood to meat to vegetable sides to amazing fruit desserts. Excellent photographs. Clear directions. Quality of the finished products. Lack of TV star chef fluff. Originality of the dishes. American kitchen measures. For cooking several of the recipes together as an integrated dinner he includes a really useful timeline listing what to do in what order to make the whole dinner. Brilliant! Not perfect: Would like more of Gordon's wisdom in picking out the best fresh ingredients. Gordon is British and trained in France, so some things slipped through US editing, like using crème fraîche or Calvados. This is not a diet book. Overall: Yum! Fancy dishes sure to delight. Cooked Fast. Tasting Fresh. All the better because they are real cooking. I'm off to make sautéed scallops with corn salsa followed by caramelized banana split. It will all be ready in 40 minutes, guessing half an hour the second time I do it . . .

Der Grundgedanke des Buches ist einfache und schnelle Rezepte zu liefern, die trotzdem lecker sind. Das ist voll gelungen. Mein Favorit sind die Scampis in Tequilla-Orangen Sauce. Hierbei gelingt es beispielsweise mit einfachen Zutaten und wenig zeitlichem Kochaufwand ein tolles Gericht zu zaubern. Ich variere es auch gern mit etwas mehr Flüssigkeit zu einer netten Sauce zu Spagetti. Einfach lecker. Das einzige Problem für mich als nicht englisch im Kochalltag gewohnten Nutzer sind die englischen Gewichtsangaben. Hier muss ich mich immer doppelt absichern welche Abkürzung nun welche Maßeinheit ist. Aber es ist ein englisches Buch, also nicht der Fehler des Buch sondern typischer Anwenderfehler ;)

un libro che lascia affascinati a bocca aperta

The recipes show the man's genius: what I have been trying to do at home returning from a very tiresome day, he guides it with recipes from all over the world and unparalleled experience. I thought it was not easy to impress a man in Crete, like me, where taste is a god given local characteristic of anything edible, but his recipe with grilled aubergines and tahini & yogurt dressing, showed me how talented, experienced and travelled the man is. For this reason I added his book to the shelf of cookbooks already at home. If anything, a more careful choice of font colour would make the recipes easier to read for those of us who are past our youth
