2 out of 5 stars Disappointing   July 4, 2008
If you are allergic, or don't like seafood, don't buy this book. It's very heavily weighted to seafood. There are also a number of ingredients that are either very hard to come by in North America, or some that I couldn't even figure out what they were! Of the other recipes, some of them are much too obvious and easy, such as fajitas...


4 out of 5 stars Good food fast   June 30, 2008
I don't know what people who are familiar with Ramsay could have been expecting? I wouldn't call this gourmet cooking, but it is sophisticated... but accessible. The recipes are easy and delicious, My teen son (a Ramsay fan) and I have made several of the dishes and have enjoyed them. They are great for entertaining, as they are quick, yummy, gorgeous to look at and special enough for company. He prepares a few of the dishes on podcasts at itunes. Check them out if you aren't that familiar with Ramsay's idea of fast food.


4 out of 5 stars 30 Minutes or less doesn't belong only to Rachel Ray   June 30, 2008
I know some reviewers have found this book a disappointment, but I love it. Everything I have made out of here is delicious and pretty easy to make. There have been some comments about fresh ingredients. All good chefs really make an effort to buy fresh ingredients because they make food taste better. But substituting works just fine if you can't find it. Creme fraiche can be made. It can also be found in high end stores in the dairy case. If the receipe can handle some sweetness, sometimes whipped creme can be used. I live in Arizona and believe me the stores here are pitiful, but I have found everything I need for every dish in the book. Gordon Ramsay delivers the goods and lots of his food is much better in 30 minutes than anything Rachel Ray has come up with (although I like her food, too).

Over one-third of the recipes in this book are for fresh seafood: Good news if you live near the coast - Bad news for the rest of us. Four more recipes call for creme fraiche (not available to us) and another for Iberian Ham (also not available). He offers no help if you want to make substitutions.For the price of this book I would have hoped for a more recipes I could use. While Ramsay gives only the simplest of instructions, all of the recipes are extremely easy to prepare anyway.

I was excited to order this, having watch G.R on his tv show. However, it featured many products we don't have in the states and the recipes were not what I would describe as fast food ideas.
