New York City Cookbooks from Wiley

The Soul of a New Cuisine: A Discovery of the Foods and Flavors of Africa

International superstar chef Gordon Ramsey, owner of the forthcoming New York hot spot "The London," reveals all, from techniques and short cuts to clever cooking tips.

From Publishers Weekly

In the U.S., British chef Ramsay is best known for his Fox reality show Hell's Kitchen, where he unleashes his fiery temper on innocent aspiring cooks. This work, which more than lives up to its title, allows Ramsay to showcase his softer side with anecdotes about his wife and photos with his children, while offering recipes where complex taste and elegant presentation belie simple preparation. Broccoli Soup, for example, cleverly uses broccoli, goat cheese and either walnuts or almonds to make for a light lunch or satisfying first course in less than 10 minutes. Even the unusual pairing of crabmeat and passion fruit in Crab Salad works beautifully, with flavor bursting in each bite. The recipes are artfully divided into eight sections, including ones for kids, fast food, cooking for a crowd and the often overlooked category of cooking for two. The section on summer barbecues is misleading, however, as most recipes work just as well indoors. Fresh herbs, wine, heavy cream and butter make repeat appearances but don't overwhelm, allowing the main ingredient to be the star. With echoes of Jamie's Dinners: The Essential Family Cookbook, by Jamie Oliver, this is a solid cookbook that could boost Ramsay's reputation Stateside. (Oct.)

    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.

Good mixture of recipes.
4 Stars
Good mixture of recipes.
I was going to purchase one of Gordan's other books, but decided to get this one for my momma for Mother's Day because she's a huge fan (as am I), plus even though this is a bit older than some of his others, the recipes looked good. Since, she just opened it today, she hasn't made anything yet. She's looked at it (and still is) and has found some recipes she'd like to make though. I also love that there is an added DVD as a bonus - again, she hasn't opened it yet - but I hope it's of Gordan explaining/making some of these recipes.Another reason I chose this book over some of the others is because it included all meals, which I thought she'd like better than one of the other 'specialty' books (such as the just desserts one). It has a good mix of meals and recipes and I believe the value was there for what is included. I also loved that it came with both forms of measurements - metric and imperial, which I also like to refer to as US because we are one of the only countries that don't use the metric system, so it's great to have both. I love that the publishers thought of everybody that may purchase this book, so they have the option to use the system they know.Outside of that, I was disappointed that although it was a new copy, it came folded, bent and warped. I know this isn't to do with the book itself, but I wanted to point it out (with pictures) so others can see what theirs may come to them like. It doesn't stop the book from being read/used though, which is the main point of the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sophisticated but Simple
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2013

Gordon Ramsay is a chef whose style and skill is someone I admire. Unfortunately, most of his cook books are more 'style' over substance, and his use of strange and difficult to find ingredients makes large swathes of his books less than useful. I live in Utah, and so it is particularly hard to get fresh fish here, and it seems the majority of Ramsay's recipes are for fish. But this book, Gordon Ramsay Makes It Easy, is much more useful. Don't get me wrong, I own nearly every cook book he's ever written and I pick recipes out of them and work with them the best I can considering the ingredients. But this particular book, besides  In The Heat Of The Kitchen , has been the most useful for me.

First of all it comes with a DVD which is short... it only have a few recipes on it, but damn, I love watching him teach you and show you how to cook.

Second, the breakfast section might be my favorite. From the Country Garden Breakfast to his French method of cooking Sublime Scrambled Eggs. These slow cooked eggs have become an absolute favorite in my family. Strangers who come to visit are given them and are wary their creamy texture, but are almost always won over by the incredible taste. I also love his English Breakfast.

Moving on I highly recommend his Risotto of Wild Mushrooms. Every time I make it, the whole house smiles in anticipation. His Macaroni Cheese recipe is simple yet elegant. His meat section is big, and though he has a lot of fish recipes, there are more substantial and easy to make meat and chicken recipes. He also has a section of food for kids, which is brilliant, and his Pasta with Bacon has become a huge favorite in my family.

The book is rounded out with some appetizers and more posh food, but all of it simple to prepare, with lots of colored pictures. He finishes with recipes designed for two people and then recipes designed for larger crowds.

It is hard not to admire and respect Gordon for his hard work and brilliance. He can be quite a character, and some of his cook books are just too 'high minded' for me to get a 'lot' of use from. But this is one I would definitely rate 5 stars. It is used often in my kitchen, and has become a favorite among my friends and families. If you got only ONE Gordon Ramsay book... I would choose this one, though he has some others that have fantastic recipes in them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything I expected
Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2009

Gordon Ramsey has a variety of TV shows. One of the shows he is a most patient teacher to one lucky home cook for a special occasion. It is because of watching that show I wanted to get one of his cook books. On that show and in this book the message is the same - Good cooking does not have to be difficult or intimidating.

When I first glanced through the book it appeared to be a waste - ingredients that I don't like or never heard of or can't find at my store. Then I sat down to really take a good look at each one and see if there wasn't something in there.

I saw how I could substitute here & there and still end up with something pretty good. The flavors may not be exactly what Chef Ramsey intended, but it will still be good. The book even encourages some substitutions: snapper is suggested instead of mullet. I can also use the internet to find acceptable options - instead of crème fraîche (which I can't find locally), I can use Crema Mexicana (locally available).

Some of things that I normally would not eat, I'm going to try anyway - just to see if the way they are prepared makes a difference. All I have to loose is one lousy dinner. I may find some new favorites in the process. Already I have found out there is at least one way that I will eat eggplant - something I normally avoid. Now there are about 2/3 of the recipes that I have marked to try at least once.

I tried 3 of the recipes so far: a main, a side and dessert. All three had easy to follow directions and came out pretty much as showed in the pictures. All of the techniques are easy enough for someone new to the kitchen. Above all it was simple food with great flavors. I also liked the back section talking about what's in his kitchen. While my kitchen will never be on that level, I did find a few things that I will add to mine.

Other reviews say this is for the "novice". I guess they mean novice Chef. I'm sure most home cooks will enjoy this book - from the brand new beginner to a more seasoned home cook. As has been pointed out, if you are a Chef, these recipes are likely a refresher for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great cookbook for the fancy home chef
Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2007
Verified Purchase
This is a wonderful intimate little book designed for the home chef. The DVD is rather short, but does have some humor to it. The recipes range from simple to fancy...but all have the common denominator of being quick and simple to prepare using fresh ingredients. All the dishes are very clean tasting and not overly fussy, and there are also fancier recipes for special occasions that do not take hours to prepare.
This chef is similar to Jamie Oliver is some aspects, but his influence is more French rather than Jamie's Italian. Fans of Jamie should also like Gordon's approach to cooking.
The book is arranged in themes such as great fast food, kid's, BBQs, posh, and dinner for two....it is a good reference point for new cooking ideas and ranges from classics to modern,
My absolute favorite recipe in this book is the crispy skin salmon on crushed potatoes, baby leeks with tomato butter - it comes out restaurant class. Also the chocolate fondant is deceptively easy to make, but is very impressive when served up. Another one that comes out beautifully is the bacon wrapped stuffed chicken thigh and also the wild mushroom rissotto.
My only criticism of this book is that the preparation and cooking times are not listed by the recipes, but rather within the recipes themselves. However this is not too much of an annoyance as the prep times and cooking times are generally not excessive.
Gordan is a modern chef, and his food is trendy yet classic, simple yet classy and tastes fantastic. This book has been well worth the purchase price...

Our first order from the UK to Canada was lost in the mail so this amazing supplier sent us another free of charge with thanks. This is a soft cover with a CD tucked in the back flap. The pictures are wickedly colourful and appealing. These are not your every day type recipes but if you are looking to impress once in awhile I would say this is your book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Real food you can really cook.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 24, 2017
Verified Purchase
Modern silky smooth quality paper and professional lovely photos, but what makes this likely to be the most well used of my cookery books are the recipes. Every single one of them looks achievable with no weird or quirky ingredients. For "easy" read "practical". The recipes include sunday dinners, english breakfasts and barbecues. Gordon brings the family, (his kids), into the equation and presents us with meals and dishes that he knows from experience keep his family happy. This might include vegetable soup or fish shaped fish cakes - all with little twists that make the everyday staples just that little bit more interesting. Pleased with this book and glad I got it.

As always: Gordon knows it best!

For sure, this guy is authentic. Yes, he uses the "f-word" far too often. However, for someone who originally targeted a career as a professional soccer player his cooking skills are impressive.
After having cooked several of his recipes I can confirm that his stuff works = great taste! And yes, the dishes are reasonably easy to cook. That's a full 5 stars!
