Gordon Ramsay's Fast Food: Recipes from "The F Word"

I bought this book and received the Silverspoon as a gift.
I ended up making more from this one and sold the Silverspoon.
It's a great book. I tried many recipes and they are really tasty, easy to make (no exotic ingredients difficult to find as in others book) and overall quick. Believe me, I am italian and food must be tasty for me.

I went from starters to pudding and all was up to expectations. I recommend this book to anyone and will buy more from Gordon. He's is the n.1 in UK.

Buon appettito!

Excellent book (2/3 people found this helpful)

I found the recipes easy to follow and the results are fabulous. There quite a lot of fish recipes in here which makes a pleasant change. Great stuff Gordon write some more books!

Fast Food Ramsay's style! This book is full of so many great ideas one can try out in the kitchen using fresh quality ingredients, to make quick, exciting meals, and snacks which are also healthy, all with little effort. It is very good to see books like this published as it encourages people to use good quality ingredients, to make fast food while avoiding the takeaway style food altogether.

Gordon has always produced supreme food, and this is a supreme book, at an excellent price. It's a worth while contender for anyone's book shelf, and is a valuable tool when looking to make something quick, but also knowing that what you are eating is good for you at same time.

I bought this after getting the Eat yourself thin book. I thought I would try another receipe book to see how it was. I was pleasantly surprised with it, with real food that tastes great. I watch the TV programme and really think alot of the swearing is just an act to get publicity, I really think his cooking would do that itself. Good Luck.

Does what it says - awesomely! (63/94 people found this helpful)

Do you know any interior designers? You look at their interior wall and go, "Golly Gosh! How did you think of *that* colour!?"

It's not that it was complicated. Just that they have the technical skill to know exactly what shade of what will look stunning where.

The rest of us tend to rely on inspiration, experience (or bad experiences) and advice from friends and 'how-to' books. But someone who has spent 3yrs getting a degree in interior design can rarely explain their decisions to plebs like us. The best we can hope for is that they will tell us how to make our particular living room look wonderful.

Maybe the trouble with many cookery books is that they look very nice but appeal to good intentions rather than practicality.

There's exceptions of course. Absolute classics. But many never get used to the full.

Delia writes like she's giving you a correspondence course. Nigella appeals especially to women who identify with her social skills. Or men influenced by her bosom. Some of Ramsay's books over-use technical terms or highly skilled techniques. These are one step above useless to most lay-people. And then there's recipe books that are written by people who haven't got a clue beyond their own kitchen. Or ones trading on a celebrity name. Or that recommend ingredients you can import from Khazakstan. Or just sound nice. Or sound inspired. Substance sans communication: or photoshop-enhanced photos.

But I'd like to recommend this one to experienced foodies and also to people who struggle to impress the odd guest with simple home cooking.

'God Gordon' has finally decided to write for his readers instead of the cooking intelligensia. He has written a book that can be easily followed. One that will give you a result before the end of even a limited attention span.

I picked it up and immediately decided I would do his excellent baked nectarines. Each time I opened it there was an idea I could use. Or one that I could improve on an existing intention with.

There are so few cook books that do what they say on the cover. At least with any degree of expertise and honesty. This is one of them. Fast food that is awesome. Simply awesome.

No previous experience needed.

Fast Food, by Gordon Ramsey.
