Not good for Americans
I was really excited about this as Im a huge fan of his show kitchen nightmares. I was extremley upset with his cookbook as its geared primarly european recipes. Secondly, the exact cooking instructions are extremley vague and make the reader try to become a mind reader in order to complete these recipes.

Ramsey I suggest you make a cookbook with recipes from your Kitchen Nightmares show, this book was euro crap.

The title says it all
Although I enjoy cooking, it was always a weekend thing when I wasn't so tired and I had more time. This book has reawakened my love of cooking - every evening. The recipes are short and straightforward and there's no spurious fluff (like you'd find in Jamie Oliver's books). There's rarely a problem finding the ingredients and it doesn't take any great skill to follow the recipes. For simplicity and tastiness the pasta with pancetta and leeks has to be the best dish I've ever come across for an average work evening.

Highly recommended
