Yesterday I saw an ad on the back of a bus for Gordon’s latest cookbook – ‘Cooking for Friends’ – and I only had to run half a block to snap it on my mobile phone!

In a recent survey by onepoll – Gordon Ramsay beat all comers to win UK’s sexiest chef as voted by 4 000 women. One recent article quoted a Telegraph representative as saying that his new ‘bad boy’ image may have further increased his popularity. Here is the top ten.

1. Gordon Ramsay
2. Jean-Christophe Novelli
3. Marco-Pierre White
4. James Martin
5. Jamie Oliver
6. Raymond Blanc
7. Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall
8. Gary Rhodes
9. Ainsley Harriott
10. Simon Rimmer (ANI)

Regarding GQ magazine and their ‘Man of the Year” awards, although Gordon did make the list, along with the likes of Barack Obama, Leonardo DiCaprio and Michael Phelps, he didn’t win one of the coveted titles – this one was ‘Prick’ of the Year!!

Now you can buy a cookbook containing some of Gordon Ramsay’s Recipes and help cure cancer – all for just a fiver (English pounds that is)!

Gordon Ramsay is one of the contributors for a new cook book called Around the World in 60 dishes. The book has been organised by a Private Health Insurance Company –Bupa- and profits will go split between several UK institutions; Cancer Research UK, The Royal Marsden Hospital in London and Sutton as well as Christie Hospital in Manchester .

The book is available from the Bupa Store and contains recipe several other well known chefs, including Simon Rimmer, Tim Lovejoy, Delia Smith, Andrew Nutter, Paul Heathcote, Brian Turner and Michael Caines – http://shop.bupa.co.uk/around_the_world_in_sixty_dishes-p11958.html

They will post the book anywhere on the planet – I’m sure with the current exchange rate, it will cost about a thousand bucks Aussie, but hey – it is for a good cause.

Wow, what a time to start a Gordon Ramsay fan club! I spent all weekend getting most of the features up and running (there’s still more to come) and wake up Monday morning (Sydney time) to the controversy).

I think, at this stage, I’ll refrain from posting any rumours until some concrete claims are made! (Which may be never!). I’ll try to keep a positive spin on things, although I doubt there will be much else in the news for the next few weeks.

We can only hope that it all gets sorted out!
