Just published in paperback...
"Every once in a while a chef comes along whose personality
and clarity of vision help to revitalize people's interest in
cuisine. Gordon Ramsay is just such a chef," lauds Charlie Trotter
with regards to one of the hottest young chefs in the U.K and
the world. With the success of his restaurants, Aubergine, Gordon
Ramsay and Petrus in London, the former two each earning Two
Michelin Stars, Gordon Ramsay is in much demand by the media.
Now, professional and serious home cooks alike can tap into
Gordon Ramsay's wealth of culinary expertise and innovative,
tasty recipes through his book A Chef for All Seasons.
The book is organized into four chapters, representing the four
seasons. Each chapter, Ramsay commences with a lesson on the
season's finest produce. There are all sorts of interesting
bits of information, such as the history of the produce, where
the produce originated, how long the produce is available, and
various techniques on how to cook the items. Ramsay expresses
strong sentiments about each ingredient, reminiscing on his
own experiences with them from the kitchens of France and his
own.
The chapters conclude with recipes.... "Pillows of Ricotta Gnocchi
with Peas and Feves, Steamed Scallops and Asparagus with Lemongrass
Butter Sauce for spring. Linguine in Lobster and Chanterelle
Sauce, Trout with a Lemon and Caviar Sabayon, Sautéed Foie Gras
with Peach Chutney for summer. Wild Duck Salad with Hazelnut
Dressing, fall and Woodcock with Caramelized Parsnips and Chocolate
Sauce finally for Winter." These are just a few of the many
intriguing recipes in which Ramsay demonstrates both classic
and creative dishes. These recipes are simple enough to cook
at home yet elegant enough to apply professionally. In an era
of modern air refrigerated shipping, it is easy to cook haphazardly
out of season. However, with guidance that such as Gordon Ramsay's
A Chef For All Seasons a cook can learn how to preserve the
inherent quality of natures foodstuffs, thereby bringing forth
the optimal dining experience. Both educational and inspirational,
this book would a splendid addition to any cook's culinary library.
