Gordon Ramsay's last TV series, The F Word, culminated in a competition to find the nation's favourite local restaurant. His new series, Ramsay's Best Restaurants, continues this theme, focusing on the country's favourite international cuisines: Italian, French, Spanish, Mediterranean, British, Chinese, Thai, SE Asian, Indian, Moroccan, Mexican and Middle Eastern. To complement the series Gordon has here selected not just his favourite menus from these cuisines, but also the perfect Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter menus. His 52 chosen menus, comprising 156 recipes for starters, main courses and desserts, are displayed in such a way, on sliced pages, that the reader can mix and match to create their own favourite menu for any occasion and any time of year. So not only is there a Gordon menu for every week of the year, but the menus can be reconfigured, by mixing and matching the pages, to create an incredible 140,000 different menu choices. Every recipe contains number of servings, complete ingredients and a simply explained method. Each menu is stunningly photographed from overhead so however the menus mix and match a photograph of every dish will always be shown. Also included is a selection of accompaniments and essential basic recipes.

After getting a little fed up with cookery books that are all too similar and that don't work - this one is very different in that it encourages you to mix and match recipes and indeed gives good ideas of what to put together, the recipes are different AND they DO work. The idea of splitting the pages so that you can easily access different recipes is a canny idea - a great buy!! I would fully recommend it.

Ramsay's Best Menus is Gordon's latest cookbook, which has been released to coincide with his new TV series "Ramsay's Best Restaurant". It contains 52 menus, which consist of some of his favourite recipes. Each menu has a recipe for a starter, main and dessert, and are designed to make the best of seasonal produce - which is why the recipes are divided into "all year", "spring", "summer" or "autumn/winter". The recipes are also arranged by type of cuisine. For example, you have the "Spanish summer menu" of chunky gazpacho/paella/chocolate mousse, the "British all year menu" of champagne oysters with cucumber/roast beef & Yorkshire pudding/apple pudding, or the "Italian autumn/winter menu" of pumpkin risotto with Parmesan/venison with sweet & sour peppers/pink grapefruit granita.
Recipes 001-156 are the recipes that make up the various menus, and are displayed on spiral bound sliced pages (which are cut into thirds), a concept I find interesting. This is because is allows you to "mix and match" - you can flip through the various recipes, and match them to suit your tastes. This gives you an opportunity to create your very own menus, giving you up to a staggering 140,000 menu choices. Each recipe is beautifully photographed, and the photo of the dish is always on the left of the recipe (regardless of how you decide to mix and match recipes). I always think this is important, as I like to know what the dish looks like before I embark on cooking it.
Recipes 157-190 are recipes for various accompaniments and basics, e.g. mustard mash, shortcrust pastry, chicken stock, pesto and vanilla ice cream. These aren't displayed on the aforementioned sliced pages, which is probably because they don't actually fit into any particular menu.... Read more ›

I was sent this book to review by the lovely Quadrille Books and the first thing you'll notice about it is that's it's set out in a completely new way to the more traditional cookery books. The recipes are set out in a three course menu for a particular theme eg Indian all year, Spanish summer, Italian summer, British autumn/winter etc and all stles of cooking have been catered for.
When you get to the actual recipes, the book splits into three parts so that you can mix and match your starters, mains and desserts until you have all three recipes on the same page. Whilst initially this seemed like a really great idea, it didn't work for me for a number of reasons. Firstly, I found the pages quite thin and after constant using would imagine they could become a bit dog eared and frail. Secondly, having all three courses on one page made the pages quite busy with words and pictures and the print just a little but smaller than I would have liked (could be my age though!). Finally, I love my cook books to have the recipes with a few extra words from the author - for example what inspired the dish or how it could be adapted.
On the plus side though, there are some fantastic recipes, as you would expect from Gordon, most notably for me the Chilled Leek and Avocado Soup, the Baked Courgette & Wild Mushroom Risotto and the Roasted Rhubarb Crumble - all quite delicious!!

Content is good, execution . . .
The actual concept (each course being seperated, hence having 3 books bounded to one) is good BUT , it is actually quite painful as you really can't skim through it. Read more
