Product Description

You are what you eat — and everyone wants to be healthy and look his or her best. A fit chef, marathon runner, and high-energy television presenter, Gordon Ramsay is a walking advertisement for eating well and staying in the peak of good health. In this new book, which includes recipes from The F Word, he has put together over 100 dishes that reflect the way we want to eat today. Geared around our daily lives, the book offers sensible, fun ideas and recipes for healthy breakfasts, lunches, barbecues, suppers, desserts, food for kids, and entertaining, and demonstrates how to cook for both health and flavor. Recipes include Mango and Smoked Chicken Salad, Griddle Squid with Roasted Peppers and Cannellini Beans, Wild Mushroom Risotto with Baked Courgettes, and Roasted Peaches with Vanilla and Spices. Featuring colorful photographs and clean modern design, this is a worthy follower to the successful Gordon Ramsay's Fast Food.

Healthy Flavorful Recipes 4
This was my first celebrity cookbook, so I was skeptical. Contrary to my fears of finding expensive ingredients that can't be found, Ramsay's recipes struck me as simple... not only in prep time, but also in the number of steps. As a nod to busy moms, the dishes have been timed to come together with minor forethought.

Eye-pleasing colors and an easy-to-ready design enhance the book further; the pages are nearly the thickness of card-stock, resistant to tearing, folding or wrinkling - a handy thing when squinting at a page over a hot stove of bubbling pots. The efficiency theme continues with recipes arranged in meal sections, rather than grouped by ingredient.

The book claims healthy, flavorful recipes... and it delivers just that. We chose three dinner items and a dessert to attempt for our family of six: braised lambs steaks, a side of lentils with green beans, spinach goat cheese soufflé and vanilla pannacota with blueberry sauce. Having never cooked soufflé I was floored when the concoction actually came out golden and delicious; a bakery loaf of French bread rounded out the meal.

My husband enjoyed all the dishes; there was nary a tidbit left on the children's plates. One would hardly have guessed the food we'd consumed was healthy. The verdict: a filling, celebrity meal for six - made at home, with dessert, for under $40 in ingredients.

Love Gordon Ramsay - Love his recipes. Easy to follow and delicious. They make me feel like I am a gourmet chef who cares about the quality of my food. I recommend this book to any level of cook/chef. Ramsay's simpleness is refreshing. A++

Awesome Cookbook with lots of flare!5
One of his famous sayings... "what we are cooking the in the F Word kitchen you can make at home". Is absolutely the truth! "Fresh food simply prepared" is another of his mantras is also true with this book.

I have never cooked to any level of this caliber ever! I am so stroked over this book I have purchased his other book "Fast Food".

This is an unbelievable change for me, from cooking the dish to plating it beautifully. My wife is nothing short of AMAZED!
