About the author
Scottish by birth, Gordon Ramsay was brought up in Stratford-upon-Avon, England, and initially aspired to be a professional soccer player but an injury put an end to that and led him to the kitchen. He's trained with some of the world’s leading chefs, such as Albert Roux and Marco Pierre White in London, and Guy Savoy and Joël Robuchon in France. At the age of 31, Ramsay set up his first wholly owned and namesake restaurant, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, which quickly received the most prestigious accolade in the culinary world – three Michelin stars.
Now internationally renowned, Ramsay has opened restaurants around the globe including in London, Las Vegas, Singapore, Baltimore, Europe and Dubai. Ramsay has also become a star of the small screen with hit shows in both the UK & US. From Gordon, Gino & Fred on ITV, Gordon Ramsay's Bank Balance on BBC to FOX's MasterChef, MasterChef Junior, Hell's Kitchen & 24 Hours to Hell and Back as well National Geographic's Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted which airs in 172 countries.
Ramsay has seen success in a variety of other ventures outside of restaurants and television including his online MasterClass, and Mobile Puzzle Game, "Chef Blast with Gordon Ramsay." This is in addition to his highly successful YouTube channel that has various cooking formats including his widely popular series "Ramsay in 10" & "Scrambled." Ramsay also loves to TikTok with his daughter Tilly.
In 2006, in recognition of all that Ramsay has contributed to the industry, he received an OBE (Order of the British Empire awarded by Queen Elizabeth II). Since then, Ramsay and his wife, Tana, set up the Gordon and Tana Ramsay Foundation in 2014, to make a meaningful difference to the London-based children's hospital Great Ormond Street.

This book changed everything. Now I can't wait to go back home and have a quickly cooked and tasty dinner. To speed things up, Chef Ramsey provides excellent advices as to what non-perishable ingredients (spices, etc.) the reader should always have at hand.
Some other ingredients might indeed be hard to find in the usual supermarket chains. But nowadays, every major city has specialized smaller exotic food stores, thanks to our immigrant friends. Chef Ramsay specifies in its introductory notes that one should find a decent vegetable, fish and meat store.
By the way, here's the recipe for home made crème fraiche:
240ml/8fl.oz. Double/Whipping Cream
2 tbsp Buttermilk
Place all the ingredients in a glass bowl, mix well, cover, and leave to stand at room temperature (about 70 degrees F.) for 8 to 24 hours, or until thickened. Stir well, cover with cling film, refrigerate and use within 10 days.
Would be great for someone who enjoys the hunting and gathering portion of dinner but was much too time consuming for me.
What I did not find simple about this cookbook, are that many of the recipes contain ingredients that I am not able to easily obtain in Canada, if they can be found at all. No doubt you will be stumped to find such things at your grocery store like "creme fraiche", membrillo paste, quail eggs, porgy, baby turnips, star anise, gooseberries, and the list goes on. Be prepared to be creative with substitutions, or you may be dropping f-bombs like Ramsay coming all the way home from your shopping trip.
The various themes, such as Thai, Mexican, Summer flavours, Easy for a crowd, Working lunch, help make menu planning simple.
I would stress that "Fast Food" does not mean cheap food. This book ranges from inexpensive dishes, to more luxuriously priced ones (cooked lobster tails, anyone?). Overall, I would say I enjoy it, and I use the recipes as a baseline to modify to suit my tastes.

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 ;)
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
