New Gordon Ramsay Cookbook Gordon Ramsays Maze

With locations in London, New York City, NY, Prague in the Czech Republic, West Hollywood , LA, and soon to open Melbourne, Australia Gordon Ramsay's Maze restaurants focus on quality ingredients, imaginative flavor combinations, and simple preservations. The dishes are served in small portions, enabling patrons to savor a wide variety of tastes in one visit.

I have eaten at the New York and Los Angeles Restaurants and the are excellent, great value considering the quality of the cuisine. I actually enjoyed Maze more than its Two Michelin star sister restaurant - Gordon Ramsay at The London New York. They really were a dining experience and I can't wait to try my hand at preparing the meals myself.

This cookbook gives readers the opportunity to cook the Maze way. But it is more than a collection of the restaurant's best recipes. The book explains how each dish would be served in the restaurant, following which additional recipes are offered using the same ingredients. Each signature dish - for example, Braised Shin of Veal with Pea Risotto and Butter-Roasted Cod with Silky Mash and Spiced Lentils - is followed by two additional recipes using the same ingredients and geared to the home cook. Covering starters, entrees, and desserts, Gordon Ramsay's Maze shows how to make meals both artful and delicious, all highlighted by Ditte Isager's gorgeous photographs.

I hope this cookbook comes with an accompanying DVD, the previous books made life so much easier when you got to see exactly how to prepare things.

The great cook book will be released in October of this year in the United States and the United Kingdom and will be published by Key Porter Books. You can pre order these books from Amazon USA and Amazon UK, which at the time of writing are reduced from $35 to $23.10 and 23.54 pounds reduced to 19.30 respectively.

Latest CookBook Gordon Ramsays Great Escape One Hundred Favourite Indian Recipes

New Recipe Book - Gordon Ramsay’s Great Escape: 100 of My Favourite Indian Recipes

In his new Channel 4 series TV chef Gordon Ramsay embarks on a culinary journey around India, discovering the breadth and depth of cooking of the country. His new cookbook is packed with the best recipes from his travels, showing you how to cook authentic dishes that are bursting with flavour. Three-star chef Gordon Ramsay's favourite food is one that he shares with a lot of Britain - curry. But, until now, he's never been to India see how the real thing is cooked. Accompanied by a Channel 4 film crew, Gordon takes the culinary trip of a lifetime to discover real Indian cuisine and share this collection of over 100 of his favourite Indian dishes.

As you'd expect from a Michelin-starred chef, Gordon brings his eye for perfection and ability to judge flavours perfectly to his exploration of Indian food and shows us how to cook authentic, mouth-watering dishes from all over this huge and varied country. He visits Kerala deep in the South of India to bring us spicy, coconut-based curries and travels to colourful Rajasthan to learn about the creamy, flavourful dishes of the North. Along the way Gordon experiences the hugely different flavours and spices from the different regions and absorbs local cooking styles and traditions. Throughout his culinary journey, Gordon selects the best of the vast array of Indian spices, now readily available in British supermarkets. He shows us how to use these authentically to produce a beautifully flavoured Indian dish. Gordon Ramsay's Great Escape includes over 100 recipes in the following sections: Everyday, Entertaining, Quick Lunches and Healthy Dishes. Once Gordon shows you how easy it is to put together authentic Indian dishes, you'll never look back.

The book will be available in the UK and USA in August 2009 (it will probably coincide with the airing if the related television show filmed earlier this year) and is published by Harper Collins
