 My favourite book of his to date June 9, 2008
28 out of 33 found this review helpful
I have quite a few Gordon Ramsey books and I consider myself to be a more than competent cook at home. Modest I know. I like to cook for people and I have a strong interest (some would say obsesession bordering on fetish) in food, where foods comes from, breeds, varieties, seasons etc. However, I do find that a lot of cook books out on the market, particularly from chefs yet alone Michellin starred chefs go too far. They seek to give tangible copies of the fantasy of their restaurants in your home, initially in hard back.
This is the first of his books that I have found myself using almost daily. I have a girlfriend who is on WeightWatchers at the moment and if any of you are going through that experience of looking at ingredients, trying to manage your points, you don't believe that X ingredient can be tasty etc then this book is really an asset in order to see what combination work well and do not compromise taste. What I like about this book is that I think it really reflects that kind of things that I eat for myself anyway and it either provides a different way of making/presenting things or it just simply gives me new ideas.
Ramsey is very clear that this is not a diet book as discussed by another reviewer. It is not a diet book. Not at all. But it is a book to keep close to you when you have seen things in supermarkets and you're either not sure what they are or you would like to know what to do with them. I am not a baker but I have made so many of his muffin recommendations since I have bought the book much to the delight of my housemate and, again, said girlfriend.
I would highly recommend this book over many of his others if not for the fact that it is far more practical and I would encourage anyone to have a crack at some of the recipes in it. I do raise an eyebrow at the dessert section of any book claiming to be healthy but I think that again he has made an admirable effort here and should be commended for it.

Good to see a book that gives good healthy recipies, that are also full of flavour.It's the usual high standard from Gordon Ramsay, and a lot of the dishes are not only good for you, but are quick to prepare as well.The usual format,meals broken down into breakfast, lunch, dinner and some surprises in the healthy snack department.There are also sections showing you how to cook the healthy way, and a number of options with various ingredients.I am not into deprivation when it comes to food, and like everyone, I like to be healthy.This book goes along way in helping me achieve this without gaining weight.

Such a shame that a good book doesn't have the calorie values for the recipes

A brilliant cookery book that shows how you can follow a healthy diet and still enjoy cooking and eating delicious food!
I particularly like the 'Healthy Cooking Techniques' section and the nutritional guidance - such as how to avoid 'bad' fats and how to eat a balanced diet.
I've tried some of the recipes - the steamed prawns with black bean sauce and the vanilla panna cotta with blueberry sauce are absolutely yummy! If you're a foodie who wants to be healthy, buy this book!
