Buy this F***ing book big boy!, 7 Mar 2009
This review is from: Gordon Ramsay's Great British Pub Food (Hardcover)
This is a fantastic book of British favourites with the Ramsay touch. It has easy to follow recipes for everything from crisps & pork scratchings (Michelin starred pork scratchings???)to roasts, with tradional comfort food like hotpot etc, steak in ale pie, pates etc. I've only had the chance to try one recipe so far in my first 24 hours but it has turned out wonderfully.
I have quite a few Ramsay cookbooks and would reccomend this one to anyone. Whereas some (like 3 * chef) are almost "food porn" - looks great but little chance of doing it at home, this is easy to follow with everyday ingredients, no special equipment but great wholesome food.
The print is clear, some great photos of the food and of Ramsay & Sarge, a nice retro feel to some of them too.
I don't have a Ramsay pub within about 100 miles so this is the next best thing. Buy it, read it, use it to make something to impress your family and friends, you and they will be glad you did

You can pull me a pint anytime, Gordon, 13 Mar 2009
This review is from: Gordon Ramsay's Great British Pub Food (Hardcover)
Love Gordon and love this new book. There are some real classics here which I'd sort of forgotten about but never should have. It's a real celebration of good, honest, simple food which is what any good pub should focus on. Good bangers and mash will beat hand-massaged Iranian goose burgers with a side of organic kale roasted by monks any day of the week.

Old School Pub Grub, 5 Jan 2011
This review is from: Gordon Ramsay's Great British Pub Food (Hardcover)
Just got the book yesterday and I can't wait to started! The recipes are using traditonal the "cheap meats" of England as they would have been hunted/caught. Unfortunately, now a days Grouse, Pidgeon, pheasent are farmed and are considered an exotic delicacy. But I'm sure substituting with Free Range Chicken/ Turkey/ Cornish Game Hens will be equally delectable.
The recipes themselves are straightforward and look mouth watering. Gordon has also included a lot basic accompanying recipes such as Tartare Sauce, Red Onion Marmalade & Yorkshire Puddings. Essentially, recipes you SHOULD know but have yet to find a reliable recipe.
The part about book that has really surprsied me is the number of desserts! - Never seen that on a pub menu! But, OMG I can't wait to try making them. One recipe, in particular, is the Pimm's Pudding! Always been a fan of Pimm's and the idea of making the pudding right after picking the fresh strawberries myself will be justice served!
If you're always on the look out for new ways of roasting meats or making savoury pies this book is worth picking up. As all the recipes reflect Gordon's respect & passion for food. Best part is the book does NOT contain (many if any) repeats from his earlier books.
