This cookbook by seriously talented chef Jason Atherton is the kind that makes it worth spending hours in the kitchen. Beautifully photographed, it\’s packed with recipes that reflect the clever, well thought out food served at MAZE, where Atherton is executive chef. Many of the recipes, such as braised shin of veal with pea risotto, require skill and time to put together their constituent parts but you can cherry pick parts to make alone, such as the risotto. This is the perfect present for a competent cook.

Sainsbury\’s magazine wrote that the head chef of Gordon Ramsay\’s MAZE in London shares the recipes for its famous tapas-style dishes, for you to make at home. try butter-roasted cod with silky mash or steamed smoky sea bass with candied aubergine.

Delicious magazine suggested that you may know Jason Atherton as head chef at Gordon Ramsay\’s Michelin-starred London restaurant, \’Maze\’. Jason describes his favourite recipes just as they are prepared in the restaurant, offering everyone the opportunity to create a little Maze at home, and follows each recipe with two more dishes based on the same core ingredients.

Some of the Amazon reviews read as follows;

1. I did a Maze cookbook dinner party last night and everything was fab, the quantity of meat in the hotpot was on the generous side but more left overs, the apple trifle is very impressive served in martini glases. as with any cook book one can use the ideas and adapt them.

2. If the other reviewers read the preface to the book, they would see and understand that there are 30 professional recipes from Maze and 60 more domestic recipes. The 60 easier recipes (2 for each professional one) are based on “leftovers” or the same ingredients/flavors as the 30 professional recipes aimed towards the home cook.

It is a nice balance between the professional chef and the average chef.

The photography is beautiful and book flows well.

A solid addition to any cookbook collection. Jason Atherton is London\’s rising star.

3. I was a bit unsure about purchasing this book having read previous reviews but being a big fan of Jason Atherton\’s cooking and Maze restaurant I decided to give it a go.

This is an unusual book in that it presents you with both detailed restaurant style recipes such as those included in Thomas Keller\’s French Laundry book or Gordon Ramsay\’s 3 Star Chef book and also recipes geared towards something you can throw together for a midweek meal but using the same ingredients or leftovers from the main recipe.

The restaurant style recipes of which there are 30 are well laid out, several of them recognisable from the Maze menu and suitably adjusted for the home kitchen, most of them require plenty of time and serious effort however after trying a few of them, they work and have impressed friends and family. The easier recipes are then provided as two options from the main recipe. It\’s a good approach, I\’ve found myself either preparing an easier recipe in advance where for example the main recipe requires a pre-made component such as a sorbet or a confit that can be stored for the main event or alternatively using up leftovers in easier meals.

For anyone who has tried to step up their home-cooking with the likes of Essence, The French Laundry Cookbook etc. and found them a little daunting this book is a good stepping stone for building confidence.

4. This book is brilliant! The dishes included are very wide-ranging with something to suit all occassions and moods. All the recipes I have tried have been very easy to follow and, most importantly, delicious to eat..

Gordon Ramsay\’s Great Escape has the subheading of \’100 of My Favourite Indian Recipes\’ and thus highlights Chef Ramsay culinary tour throughout the sub-continent of India!

Here is how the book and author are described by the publishers -

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 to 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.

Gordon Ramsay\’s radical career change at 17 years old led him to London and to fame and fortune as chef, restaurant-empire-builder and celebrity. Gordon has published nine bestselling recipe books, a hugely successful autobiography and has starred in a stream of successful television series including the award-winning Ramsay\’s Kitchen Nightmares, Hell\’s Kitchen and The F Word. He was appointed OBE in 2006.

With his unique style, energy and enthusiasm, Gordon shows readers how to prepare an extensive array of easy dishes from America to Thailand and from China to Italy. WORLD KITCHEN will take its inspiration from the latest series of The F Word, to be aired on Channel 4 this November.

Gordon has selected 100 simple recipes from 10 countries around the world, so there is now no longer any excuse to dial your local take-away. He rejects the idea that world cuisine should be complicated to prepare and instead demonstrates simple cooking methods that will guarantee delicious results.

Gordon delves into Middle Eastern, American, Thai, Chinese, Indian, Spanish, French, Italian, Greek and of course, British cuisine and explains the key techniques underpinning them, including how to make curry paste which can be used in a Fragrant green curry with beef and how to make home-made pasta for a Spinach, ricotta and pinenut ravioli. Novice and more experienced cooks alike will be able to create recipes such as Chicken in spicy coconut broth and Lamb tagine with herb couscous.

Accompanied by stunning photography by Chris Terry, WORLD KITCHEN offers an innovative selection of recipes tailored for every day cooking and entertaining, and demonstrates just how easy accessible the most memorable of the world’s flavours can be to the home cook.

About the Author

Gordon Ramsay has earned an extraordinary 12 Michelin stars for his restaurants in London and New York.

His other bestselling cookbooks – A Chef for All Seasons, Just Desserts, Gordon Ramsay\’s Secrets, Gordon Ramsay Makes It Easy, Sunday Lunch, 3*** Chef, Fast Food and Healthy Appetite – are also published by Quadrille.

To date the onnly reviewer from Amazon has described the book as follows;

Say what you will about Gordon Ramsay, he has done a bang up job with this book. Not least because of the photography (I\’m a big fan of Christopher Terry\’s photography), but because the recipes, albeit they are recipes for very typical fare from 8 countries/regions around the world, are good and done obviously with attention to detail. Yes, I do think that braising ribs before grilling them is CHEATING, but I don\’t have another option at my house, so I\’ll settle for his way of doing it.

This is a book for anyone who wishes to have a good collection of recipes from around the world in one cookbook (all the dishes you\’d crave if you\’ve only experienced the cuisines in a restaurant) with beautiful photography.
