Gordon Ramsay

[lauralie41]

Gordon James Ramsay was born November 8, 1966 in Johnstone, Scotland. He is a celebrity chef, television personality and entrepreneur, has been awarded a total of twelve Michelin stars, and is currently one of only three chefs in the UK whose restaurant is rated at three Michelin stars. He is famous in the UK for presenting TV programmes about competitive cookery and food such as Hell's Kitchen and The F-Word. He is best known in the United States as the host of FOX's Hell's Kitchen, which premiered in May 2005, and of Kitchen Nightmares, which premiered in September 2007, based on his successful British show Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares.

Ramsay is one of only three chefs in the UK to maintain three Michelin Guide stars for his restaurant (the others being Heston Blumenthal and Alain Roux). He was appointed OBE in the 2006 honours list "for services to the hospitality industry".

In July 2006 Ramsay became only the third person to have won three Catey awards, the biggest awards of the UK hospitality industry. Ramsay's two previous Catey awards were in 1995 (Newcomer of the Year) & 2000 (Chef of the Year). The other two triple-winners are Michel Roux and Andrew and Jacquie Pern.

In September 2006, he was named as the most influential person in the UK hospitality industry in the annual Caterersearch 100 list, published by Caterer and Hotelkeeper magazine. He overtook Jamie Oliver, who had been top of the list in 2005.

Since 1996, Ramsay has published thirteen cookbooks. Gordon Ramsay's Sunday Lunch and Other Recipes from The F Word coincided with the second series of The F-Word. Ramsay also contributes to The Times' Saturday magazine in the form of a food-and-drink column.

Thanks for posting- I love Gordon Ramsey & Hell's Kitchen. He has high standards w/ his cooking & doesn't fake it as I've seen other celebrity chefs do. Hopefully someone has some of his recipes.

From what I have heard....Shepherd's Pie is a specialty of his...at his restaurants! It's on my 'too-try-list'

[OrangeOctober]

I've saved those recipes & can't wait to try them. Too bad he doesn't have a restaurant in Chicago.

Another favorite.

His shepherds pie is amazing! I made it from the recipe on here that was taken from his BBC show "The F word." It is a very flavorful recipe and it was rich. My husband and the kids ate it so fast that there were no leftovers in the house. I love seeing him cook and when we head to visit my little brother in NYC we are going to try and meet up with one of his friends who is a pastry chef under Ramsey and see about eating in the rest.

Without a doubt GR is my biggest cooking influence and his recipes are fabulous.

This is one I have posted on RZ - I needed the nutritional info. It is in both Just Deserts and Sunday Lunches cookbook.

"Baguette and Butter Pudding"

His recipes aren't for the diet-conscious though. Yummy!

April 1st, new Hell's Kitchen starting!!!! WOOHOOO!!!!

I adore gordon ramsey, both hells kitchen show and kitchen nightmares.

Find me a man like that...oh the show when he stripped to his briefs .. (changing into a scottish kilt on nightmares) I drooled.

Of course his recipe's make me drool as well

[dimensionally transcenden]

yey! Everyone I know tells me I am mad for drooling but he is so gorgeous.

In my defense though, I really like his food. I was browsing through the latest Good Food magazine (backwards as you do) and saw a gorgeous salmon recipe, lo and behold it was his. I just love his cooking style and taste in food. It is merely a bonus that he is so swoon-worthy.

Pear, Honey and Lime Cake

Yep, backwards is the way I read a magazine and begin a book reading the last page first.
