Gordon Ramsay's Secrets

Another beauty by the bold Gordon and a worthy companion volume to Just Desserts, one of my all-time fave raves.
The combination of Ramsay “Moody Maestro”, Roz Denny “Foodie Shrewdie” and Georgia Glynn Smith the uncrowned queen of “Eat Me” photography is a surefire winner once again. This time they are joined by Mark Sargeant, Ramsay acolyte and chef de cuisine at Claridges.
The “Secrets” in the title refers to the hints and tips drawn from Gordon’s own experience that lie scattered about the text – anyone thought of baking beetroot on a bed of salt to draw out some of the moisture? There’s a good step-by-step photographic sequence for making spatzle.
The recipes look appealing, give you a good line on presentation and there isn’t anything so complex that it couldn’t be attempted by a keen amateur cook.
What more can I say?
