What are these ingredients!?
I got to say I'm really disappointed with this book. First off, this is supposed to be recipes you can make in 30 minutes or less...it would take you longer than that to find some of these ingredients in a grocery store than that. Methi leaves, mangetout, ras-el-hanout... WHAT ON EARTH ARE THESE!? I'm just a home cook with not much experience but a lot of respect for Chef Gordon so I was super excited to get this book and cook some delicious GR recipes but it's clearly been proven difficult with the bizarre ingredient list he has for virtually every single recipe. Another disappointing thing is the measurements on this book are not standard for the US. He has grams and ml used throughout. This isn't too much of a downside for me as I can convert it no problem but they should have made a copy for US that was not metric. As much as I am a fan of Gordon, this book is very disappointing as a first time buyer of one of his cookbooks.

Not quick. Very delicious
Watching reruns of Gordon Ramsay’s shows felt inspired to buy this book.I was super disappointed the book doesn't live up to its name.I love to the chef at home. Keep lots of ingredients on hand. Make great food quick and delicious.My interest in this book was strictly to add more recipes to make in my arsenal.What I feel was received instead is a book with most recipes that aren't practical for me. Many ingredients are not easily acquired for my area.What this book has done is encourage me to think outside my box even more.I currently continuously create and improve recipes. With the book, I'm hopeful it'll contribute to more robust creativity in ways I hadn't thought of. But, unfortunately, will be with what I can purchase locally. Or on Amazon.⭐️⭐️

Just a great cookbook
A really well designed cookbook for someone that doesn’t cook very often. I have no chef skills but know the basics and this book knows that. I have made some great meals for an on the go family and they are delicious.

Best cookbook I own
Wow - this is a fantastic cookbook! I try to make dinner for my family roughly 5 nights a week, and lately I have been doing all of my meal planning and cooking from this book. Not only are his recipes delicious, they are also incredibly simple. Even the recipes that did not sound good I’ve made and been super impressed with because at this point I feel like if it’s from his book it’s going to be a winner. I’ve made about 14 of these recipes so far and 14/14 of them have been wins. The only one my kids didn’t like was the beet and goat cheese tart, but my husband and I didn’t mind as that just left more for us, haha.If you’re a busy working mom like me that likes to have yummy healthy home cooked meals on the table for your family, buy this book. You won’t be sorry.Me: experienced home cook but no professional chef, likes healthy food and easy recipes

Perfectly formatted cookbook
I took one star off because my book came with two scratches on the front and adhesive stuff on its back in a small section.I love the formatting of this cookbook. It’s simple and clean. There isn’t a bunch of fluff surrounding the pages of the recipes. Also the font and wording is easy to read and the recipes are color coded by category. All of the recipes are well planned out and detailed enough for you to understand but not overly detailed so you get lost.

NOT for beginners !! I am guessing it's "quick" for pro chefs !??
I have cooked Ramsey's food before- ALWAYS delicious. But - I have only made his meals on special occasions, so I didn't expect them to be quick or easy. Do you have rose harissa sauce, organic pink peppercorns, or fried tofu puffs - just lying around? I don't.Yes, I can get them but that's not the point. For almost EVERY recipe- you will have to make a trip to a specialty food store- just FYI.Quick is the main selling point of THIS cookbook - it is NOT- if only because of all the extra trips you will have to make to get the damn ingredients!I am sure all these recipes ARE delicious but "quick" - NO.IF you are a seasoned cook or a professional chef- these recipes probably will be quick and easy for you- but if you are a beginner cook who is short on time - look elsewhere!!! :)

So excited to cook again
Recipes are easy to follow, the photos make everything look great, and honestly it is written on a way I could hear Gordon saying it lol. Made the pea and mint guacamole today then the cauliflower and brown butter soup and both came out great. Even with a couple mistakes both recipes only took approximately 30min each.

Great food!
Saw Ramsay on TV, now have 2 of his books. Excellent food, easy to follow recipes.

Really disappointing. All measurement are aimed at American market. Difficult for Brits to use
I was looking forward to this book but wondered when it arrived if the wrong version had been sent.All measurements given in this book are in units aimed at the American market. I.e. quarts, ounces, cups, tablespoon measures for butter. Even can sizes are given in ounces and not grams.This makes this book really difficult for people in the Uk to use and for me just not worth the effort of making all the translations. There are plenty of other good cookbooks out there. Some of the recipes seem nice but I won’t be using them.One of the recipes even starts off ‘set your broiler to high’. We have grills here and some people here wouldn’t even know what a Broiler is.Avoid this book unless you are happy working in American ( not even imperial ) units.

Cookbook
The main problem (for me) with most of the cookbooks is impulse buying after seeing a chef showcasing a recipe from hers or his cookbook. Normally I would take some time to review such book and this was such case as well. Initial reflection was somewhat lukewarm, couple of interesting recipes but nothing outstanding. Having browsed though this book few times now I have made some and book marked other interesting recipes and filed this one under a "keeper".

Restaurant food in your own home :)
So we was in still quite strict lockdown and had more time on our hands, we like watching Ramsey’s programs and like how he cooks he make it look so easy. We thought ok let’s order the book and try something, we can’t go out not that we do much anyway but let’s treat ourselves.I promise to you the recipes are so easy! It’s honestly very simple the ingredients are not expensive and the most of the stuff you will have in your cupboard anyway. We have tried few dishes and it turned out just like in the picture. It is very simple and quick and I would recommend it we felt we was eating healthier and a good quality food.

Wide range of recipes
Bought this as a gift - has a great range of recipes. While the book claims each recipe will take 30 minutes or less, I believe the cooking utensils required (e.g. the book claims a blow torch is an essential kitchen utensil) may not be suitable for every person looking to make delicious meals in a short amount of time. Would recommend this for more experienced chefs who have a lot of kitchen supplies available.
