Very disappointing (3/5 people found this helpful)
Not a great book.
Note the apostophe in the title - this is Gordon Ramsey branded, but he only wrote the intro. The recepies are by his trusty side-kick Sarge.
The recepies themselves are all pretty simple, basic stuff - not what you would hope (or expect) from Gordon Ramsey.
Save your money and spend it elsewhere!
A Cookery Book You Will Use (3/3 people found this helpful)
I love cookery books but am also constantly told by my husband "why don't you cook from them?". Well this is one of those books that has recipes that are easy to follow and even though it is healthy it is also very tasty. I have cooked quite a few recipes from this book and they have all turned out beautifully.
As for the gentleman who mentioned his girlfriend was on Weightwatchers - I am also and have found some great new ideas to keep food interesting and tasty while reamining in the zone of "my body is a temple!"
Healthy doesn't always mean diet! (17/20 people found this helpful)
GORDON RAMSAY'S HEALTHY APPETITE is a must have for those who want great tasting food without all the calories and fat. It seems some have been put off by the fact that this is not a diet book. No one ever said it was. Rather, it is a healthy approach to eating without blowing your entire way of living out of the water. What Ramsay wants to make clear (I believe) is that there are several factors involved in healthy eating: proportion, moderation, seasoning, and the right combination of foods, just to name a few.
Highlights for me include the "Four Cabbage Coleslaw," the "Penne Primavera," and the "Pot roast sirloin of beef." Other may warm to the "Glazed Gammon with pineapple Salsa," which I haven't tried yet but will soon.
While the recipes are the main thing, there's also chapters on the "bad" fats and getting the right balance of things on the plate. Overall a great cookbook, on the same par for me as DELIA'S HOW TO CHEAT and THE KITCHEN DIARIES. Anyway you slice it, Ramsay has it going on, hands down!
Simple but tasty (1/2 people found this helpful)
Despite not particularly liking Gordons stressy and abrasive manner I do like these recipes.
Of course the beautiful presentation does give tempting ideas and will make anyone want to rush out and buy fresh ingrediants to try out.
Love the sashimi idea and the display in particular.
Great value from Amazon, ideal for the coffee table and a book brimming with ideas that are simple and healthy.
healthy and tasty (4/7 people found this helpful)
Healthy Appetite is an excellent book.
Gordon bangs on that healthy is not boring..... and he is right. Gone are the trademark cream and reduced sauces, the butter basted meats and in come healthy full english breakfasts, 5 ways with tomates- salads, homemade ketchups. Dishes for a working lunch, entertaining and desserts.
An excellent book with very simple tasty and healthy recipes.
