In third place, the humble trifle. Everyone knows someone who has a trifle recipe that they keep close to their chest - whether your nan makes the best ever trifle (but refuses to share the recipe) or your mum whips one up every Christmas without any instructions. We’ve got a recipe that you can turn into your signature dessert, combining layers of sponge fingers, raspberry jelly, custard, and fresh raspberries, with plenty of grated dark chocolate and cream. It’s not one for the faint-hearted but it is a real winner at dinner parties! I sadly found the photography to be less polished (and artistic) than I have grown accustomed to, but the recipes themselves more than make up for that (and at least the recipes each get a picture so you still get a good sense of the dish)! In the same skillet, sauté the onion, mushrooms, and garlic until the vegetables are soft and the liquid has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes.

Low-and-behold, when circumstances FORCED me to cook regularly, I found I enjoyed it. I started out easy, with home meal kits (SunBasket). Then, I found I didn’t really care for many of the sauces that came with the kits, and started learning how to make my own sauces. Then, I tried my hand at cooking some simple recipes I could find on youtube. I made many “easy” recipes off of the Basics with Babish series (Weeknight Meals, One Pot Pastas, Salad, Pan Sauces, etc). Then, I moved on to some harder recipes. I was intrigued learning about what made food taste good. I started to dream that maybe I could actually become experienced and talented enough to be considered a “great home cook”.Create chef-quality food without spending hours in the kitchen -- these are the recipes and straightforward tips you need to make good food fast.

I was wrong on both counts! The recipes in this cookbook, from beginning to end, are just like the ones in the fancier cookbooks of Ramsay's: super intense, complicated recipes for foods I'd never get anywhere near! They might only take 1/2 an hour to cook, but they're still complex, to me, and the end results look so very unappealing. I don't know what led me to believe that even a cheeseburger made by Gordon Ramsay would be good--it looks too froo-froo for me, no way I'd touch that! The pictures were pretty, but that's about all I can say in favor of this one. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness. Fold the pastry over the beef and seal the edges by pressing them together with the tines of a fork.

Gordon Ramsay’s Masterclass: Worth The Money One of the best ways to get kids interested in cooking – making a pizza that they can decorate. Our sixth most popular recipe is this simple pizza dough from street pizza. Best of all, it only uses a few ingredients. Once you’ve made your base use whatever you’ve got in the fridge to top it – passata with a little chilli, covered in grated cheese and diced ham. Delicious. Red pesto with chargrilled red peppers and garlic? Perfect. Simply make the dough and let everyone experiment with flavour.With unlimited access to recipes, why does anyone need another cookbook? Because not all recipes are born equal. Not all of them have been created by a global superstar chef who has built his reputation on delivering the very best food -- whether that's the ultimate fine dining experience at his 3 Michelin-star Restaurant, Gordon Ramsay, or the perfectly crafted burger from his Las Vegas burger joint. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and place the beef in the center of the pastry. The recipes are written to serve 2 or 4. If you’re doubling a recipe, anticipate it will take longer.

In the same pan, melt the butter and sauté the onion and mushrooms until they are soft and the liquid has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes. If you go to Hell’s Kitchen, you should try Gordon Ramsay’s most famous dish, Beef Wellington. New York’s Hell’s Kitchen: A Restaurant For All Occasions I tried as hard as I could to follow the “Ultimate Cookery Course” video guide, along with following the companion app ingredients and proportions. If I could not find a specific ingredient, I did research to try to find an appropriate substitute. I also am converting quantities from metric to imperial via Google. Some ingredients I found are named differently in the USA than they are in Europe. Here are some common recurring “renames” and/or “substitutions” I used across all recipes: In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until it is crisp and the fat is rendered, about 5-7 minutes. There are lots of ingredients, some of which I haven’t heard of (I’m looking at you, preserved lemon!). I just googled substitutions and it was fine. I may seek out some of the specialty items just because I’m a curious foodie.After attempting 10-15 different recipes from the “Ultimate Cookery Course” series (and enthusiastically sharing my progress with close family and friends), I decided to share my progress online as well. Maybe a few folks out there will enjoy looking over this content. Even if nobody reads this content, fine. I am doing this for me, and me alone. I believe I have a high chance of completing all 100 recipes. I received this cookbook last week and made three recipes out of it over the weekend. I feel like I’ve been cooking non-stop for the last six months and was eager to have some new options. There are several more recipes that my family is planning on making. The five stars are because we all (3 generations, five of us) found recipes we want to eat, and the three recipes I made turned out great. Here’s what you need to know: Gordon’s signature dish had to be on the list somewhere. From the Savoy Grill to Bread Street Kitchen, Petrus to maze Grill Park Walk – this is a dish that our chefs simply love to make. It’s not an easy one to do at home, but if you’re up for a challenge and want to create a dinner party showstopper, or something extra special for Christmas or Easter, then the Beef Wellington is the way to go. If you don’t think you’re quite ready to try this at home, then why not book onto one of our Beef Wellington masterclasses? That way, you can learn from the best, then re-create confidently at home! Gordon Ramsay’s cookbook has over 100 recipes. The recipes are divided into sections such as starters, main courses, and desserts. There is also a section on how to cook for special occasions.
