Gordon Ramsay's cooking is exceptional, worthy of the three Michelin stars he is consistently awarded. His bestselling books have enabled home cooks to reproduce the superb dishes served in his restaurants. "Makes It Easy" is a completely new approach for him. In this fantastic book Gordon shows how you can eat great food at home all the time, without breaking the bank or spending hours in the kitchen. Using the very best ingredients (but not too many of them), Gordon creates a stunning collection of dishes featuring brilliant flavour combinations and uncomplicated cooking methods. The recipes cater for every possible occasion - from breakfast through to dinner, informal and formal, for friends and family, for grown-ups and kids. Stunning photographs show Gordon choosing, buying, preparing and cooking a wide range of easily available ingredients and turning them into meals which are smart and sophisticated, but above all, simple. A specially filmed DVD also shows Gordon cooking some of his favourite recipes in his own kitchen providing fascinating insight and additional helpful tips.

Having always found his cooking wonderful but his style a little abrasive, I was pleasantly surprised by this book. As always the recipes sound delicious and are beautifully complimented by the photography, but this time it seems to be that the whole ethos is different.This book is not about reproducing a five star restaurant meal in your own kitchen, more a sensible, pragmatic approach to modern cooking for family and friends. The chapters are divided into different occasions ('summer barbies','just for kids','posh'etc), and the recipes whilst short and to the point are still distinctly Gordon Ramsay. One for both old and new fans, experienced and not so experienced cooks.

'In this book, GR shows you how you can eat great food at home - all the time - without breaking the bank or spending hours in the kitchen.
Still using the very best ingredients (but not too many of them), brilliant combinations of flavours and uncomplicated cooking methods, he's produced a selection of over 100 recipes for every possible occasion - from breakfast through to formal dinner, informal and formal, for family and friends.
There recipes are, of course, smart and sophisticated - but they are also simple.....'
Includes a c 30 minute DVD, showing Gordon cooking in his own kitchen and explaining every step of the way, (plain cooking, and NOT a single 'F' word to be heard..... football.....or anything else)!
Durable hardboard covers, with GR looking on, open to 256 high quality, shiny pages, split over 9 main chapters:-
Breakfast & Brunch
Great Fast Food
Family & Friends
Summer Barbies
Just for Kids
Bellinis & Blinis
Posh
Dinner for Two
Cooking for a Crowd
plus an intro, an index and notes including 'My Store Cupboard & Equipment'.
The fresh, cornflower blue colour from the cover follows on throughout the book, as the title headers as well as the chapter opening narrative and main 'notes boxes'(the latter two having white text).
Each recipe is clearly laid out with the lower case title, the number of servings, the list of ingredients and a clear method, the main steps being enhanced in a bold text.
The aforementioned 'notes boxes', laced with typical GR humour are littered throughout the book, e.g.:-
'The secret of cooking fish is mastering the 'cuisson' or the point at which it is ready but not overcooked.... Read more ›

This book is a great book for both the starter and more exprienced cook. Where his previous book "Kitchen Secrets" was about those special occasion recipies this book is all about spicing up your daily food. It has lots of recipies that are easy to make and have great taste.
I highly recommend this book and hope you will enjoy the fantastic taste combinations that Gordon Ramsay creates in his recipies.

Having bought all of Gordon Ramsay's books along with a library of others, on my initial flick through I was slightly dubious as to the value of the content. After watching the accompanying DVD a couple of times and going back to the book I have found loads of things to use on an everday basis both in the recipes and the methods. I would thoroughly recommend this book.I wonder if others will follow with the DVD idea - it's great.
