Gordon Ramsay's Passion For Flavour

Description: Gordon Ramsay, the highly acclaimed chef, won his first Michelin star at the prodigious age of 27 and is now one of the UK's best-known chefs. In "Passion for Flavour", he presents a stunning range of over 100 recipes, which radiate an ethereal lightness and outstanding intensity of flavour. Using only the freshest of ingredients, the minimum of butter and cream and the cleanest, deepest flavoured stocks as a base, he conjures up sublime dishes, which never fail to excite the palate. Many of his most famous recipes have been adapted for the domestic kitchen and are here presented in easy-to-follow stages.
