1.Gordon Ramsay's Healthy Appetite by: Gordon Ramsay May 02, 2008

GORDON RAMSAY'S HEALTHY APPETITE is a must have for those who want great tasting food without all the calories and fat. It seems some have been put off by the fact that this is not a diet book. No one ever said it was. Rather, it is a healthy approach to eating without blowing your entire way of living out of the water. What Ramsay wants to make clear (I believe) is that there are several factors involved in healthy eating: proportion, moderation, seasoning, and the right combination of foods, just to name a few. Highlights for me include the "Four Cabbage Coleslaw," the "Penne Primavera," and the "Pot roast sirloin of beef." Other may warm to the "Glazed Gammon with pineapple Salsa," which I haven't tried yet but will soon. Read More:

3.Delia's How to Cheat at Cooking by: Delia Smith February 15, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £20.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £9.99 You Save: £10.01 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £8.39
I'm really impressed with this book mainly for the reason that it's been my saviour recently for last minute meals that I've had to prepare for visitors. I haven't had the heart to say I've cheated but I've had nothing but compliments for the food, even from my fiancee who can't stand capers! I recommend this for real kitchen cheats who want to guarentee a tasty meal. If you want to sit back and take the full credit yourself, try something else! It's also good value at the moment. I've not seen it cheaper anywhere else.

I absolutely love this book, I watched the show and was so lulled by Nigella's coquettish cooing that I found myself wanting to make everything she did. I got the book as a gift from friends after encouraging them to watch the show, and invited them over for a Nigella Night where I made the Coq au Reisling and the Chocolate Pistachio Fudge (which although a bit rich is absolutely divine and can be varied with flavoured chocolated and some unsalted cashews as well). I have to say I much prefer watching the show as her adjective style (beat this until it forms stiff white creamy peaks) is almost as fun to watch as the cooking. But the book is fantastic and the illustrations are great - although I am a little dubious about her claim to have taken pictures ... Read More:

This is the book to turn to after a long day at work, but you want something tasty for dinner.Put away the takeaway menus, almost all the dishes in this book are quicker and tastier.Not to mention a whole lot better for you.Stock up with a few essentials, follow the recipies, and you can have great food on the table, and still have time to "play". Excellent

Having read Hell's Kitchen I now feel that I understand Gordon Ramsay's personality a little better. His fanatical pursuit of perfection seems to be as a result of his difficult childhood. However I wonder if his constant use of the f word is entirely necessary as all it really shows is lack of vocabulary. This makes me feel that maybe nowadays he continues to use it for effect in print and on the small screen. He is obviously very passionate about his restaurants and the meals they produce. He admits that the UK is still a long way behind the rest of Europe in terms of decent places to eat outside the big cities, a depressing but true fact. He hopes that things will improve slowly and that he has a part to play in improving the future eating habits of the ... Read More:

7.The River Cottage Fish Book by: Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Nick Fisher November 19, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £30.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £18.25 You Save: £11.75 (39%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £12.43
Book is mostly aimed at people passionate about fish and cooking it and contains lots of information about fish, fishing practises etc. I personally was only looking for simple healthy recipes but I am still very happy with it. Was slightly disappointed with the number of recipes, however I love the description of each type of fish with comments on how best to cook this particular fish. With other cookbooks, you only have a dozen recipes for half a dozen types of fish, and are stuck if you have got anything that does not fit the list. Here, each recipe has suggestions on what other types of fish to use. And of course they know what they are talking about, it is all simple and elegant.

8.Recipes from a 3 Star Chef by: Gordon Ramsay October 05, 2007

Nice pictures.. though a somewhat fawning anonymous commentary leads through the first half of the book and on to the recipes. I have only managed to get around to cooking four or five of the meat/fish courses so far but have found some of the recipes to be incomplete leaving out the odd, often crucial, finishing touch. It should be said that the recipes in this book have been altered to suit a domestic kitchen and are consequently often not the food that you'd pay £100+ per head for in Royal Hospital Road. Having said that, those I have made so far have been utterly delicious - I would particularly recommend the rabbit confit - triple the amount - stunning!

9.Eating for England: The Delights and Eccentricities of the British at Table by: Nigel Slater June 02, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.99 You Save: £4.00 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.66
Most of you, if you're cookbook collectors, know by now that you rarely get a straight-through cookbook. Rather, it's usually a melange of "where this recipe came from" coupled with some history and/or the author's comments. Such, even more so, is the case with EATING FOR ENGLAND. This is really not so much a cookbook as a reminiscence and "thoughts" about cooking and England. I was immediately reminded of the novel "Barring Some Unforeseen Accident" in that the author incorporates an actual cookbook within the novel (not anything you're going to want to make, by the way). The way that author pokes fun at cookbooks and their "makers" is very funny, and if you've read enough of these, you'll see what I mean. My only real complaint with the book is that if you're ...

10.How to Be a Domestic Goddess: Baking and the Art of Comfort Cooking by: Nigella Lawson October 02, 2003

This book reintroduced me to the kitchen after long avoiding it (it's amazing how long you can survive on cold spaghetti hoops and sandwiches). I admit I was entranced by the cover picture, and for about two weeks it sat wrapped up on the side with me wondering what on earth posessed me to buy it. When I did finally pluck up the courage to read it I was so glad I did. It not only serves as the most wonderful food porn, but it's non-patronising and really easy to follow. Not only do I love lusting over the sound of the confections, I really really enjoy baking them. I've had only one item go awry-the courgette cake-but even as a sunken mess it tasted fantastic. I think anyone who loves cakes should have this on their shelf.
