What an absolutely gorgeous book. This book is a large coffee table style cookbook 13 inches tall (or more). This book has a ton of photos of each 50 recipes: 16 appetizers, 17 entrees and 17 desserts, followed by a section called "Basics" which describes the procedures for making assorted stocks, sauces, purees, etc. A few of the recipes included are: Lobster Ravioli, Corn Reared Beef Fillet with Marrow Crust, Ginger Mousse and a Bitter Chocolate Cylinder with Coffee Granite.
Some of the ingredients might be hard to get if you do live in a rural area with no specialty food stores. I've made a few of the recipes and if I don't have an ingredient Chef Ramsey calls for I improvise.
These really are not recipes for a cooking novice. Though, if you are a confident & experienced home cook, you could pull off many of these recipes if you have lots of time. Gordon does breakdown each recipe simpler than any other cookbook of this class.
This book also includes Gordon's cooking tips, life experiences and how he has earned his 3 star Michelin rating. This also makes a great cooking reference for those foodies who like Chef Ramsay's style and they want to learn as much as they can.
