Masterchef starring Gordon Ramsay is now into full swing and in the next few weeks, they will be auditioning amateur chefs all over the US to star (well after Gordon) in the show! The show will be based on the surprise Australian format of the show with the same name!
Professional chefs are not allowed to enter and the show has been dubbed “American Idol” for foodies and will be brought to the small screen by the producers of ‘The Biggest Loser’.
Twelve auditions will take places across where would-be contestants will be asked to appear at the auditions with a prepared dish and thenplate the dish for the judges within five minutes. No doubt quality of the dish and ‘appropriate characters’ will weigh in the decisions of who makes it to the next level!
Here is a video teaser for Gordon Ramsay’s Great Escape: 100 of My Favourite Indian Recipes Cookbook – the cookbook will be released within the next week and the television special will air this year.

In an article on the Business week website (much more reliable than and English Tabloid!) Gordon Ramsay talks candidly about how bad the last year had been financially, amazing considering how bad 2008 was for him!
In fact, the reality is that Gordon Ramsay’s troubles in 2009 flowed over directly from 2008 and opening eight restaurtants just prior to the global economic crisis (note: owning the restaurants – not just consulting like some of his contempories). This is the story of how Gordon Ramsay Holdings was advised to consolidate their debts and file for bankrupcy – something which Gordon said he would not agree to! Gordon spent the first 3 months of filming Hell’s Kitchen in the USA and then hours at night on the phone with business partner and father-in-law Chris Hutcheson, not to mention early morning runs to ‘burn off the stress!’.
The story also summaries Gordon Ramsay’s current status – twenty restuarants worldwide, five international television shows, twenty three cookbooks (and two biographies) in eighteen languages plus multiple endorsements.
The article also gives some insight into Gordon Ramsay’s television earnings
- In the UK £2 000 000 annually from Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares and The F Word.
- £25 000 000 in UK cookbook sales.
- £3 000 000 in endorsements.
- $9 000 000 from US shows.
