I found it strange that Gordon Ramsay spoke to The News of The World (since they spend most of their time trashing him) and also that they said Gordon was the father of three in the intro and then listed the names of his four kids halfway through!
Highlight of the interview were the insight into Gordon Ramsay’s new cookbook from the latest season of the F Word, called Gordon Ramsay’s World Kitchen. Gordon said that the series and the book was all about “was getting really good ethnic food, fantastic Indian recipes, Chinese and Thai recipes, fantastic French food and putting these ideas together… Fantastic curries, fantastic Pad Thai, great Chinese food, simple French cooking and then the modern British aspect.”
You can also find out what is behind the Red Horns that wife Tana gave him for his birthday!
Also get Gordon’s thoughts on his kids learning to cook, his success overseas and his new series Masterchef – get the full interview here;
With two contestants elimintaed from Hell’s Kitchen yesterday, you now have an even better chance of winning the autographed copy of Gordon Ramsay’s Great British Pub Food that the Plonker Club is offering to celebrate the new series!
With Chef Louie not even making through the first service and Chef Melinda punted at the end of it, even people not watching the show can have a guess and win! Although another contestant has now enetred the show (Robert from Season 5), we can almost bet that Joseph is on his way out – after losing it and offering to take Chef Ramsay out into the carpark (I’m guessing he failed marine training if he can’t handle that verbally assault??!!). Your odds of winning just got much better!
With locations in London and New York City, Gordon Ramsay’s Maze restaurant focuses on quality ingredients, imaginative flavor combinations, and simple preservations. The dishes are served in small portions, enabling patrons to savor a wide variety of tastes in one visit. This cookbook gives readers the opportunity to cook the Maze way. But it is more than a collection of the restaurant’s best recipes. The book explains how each dish would be served in the restaurant, following which additional recipes are offered using the same ingredients. Each signature dish — for example, Braised Shin of Veal with Pea Risotto and Butter-Roasted Cod with Silky Mash and Spiced Lentils — is followed by two additional recipes using the same ingredients and geared to the home cook. Covering starters, entrees, and desserts, Gordon Ramsay’s Maze shows how to make meals both artful and delicious, all highlighted by Ditte Isager’s gorgeous photographs.
The book will be released in October of this year, published by Key Porter Books – Pre order your cop now by clicking on the above links.
We’ll have more information on the specifics of the cookbook as they are released!

Here’s a clip that is simply called ‘The Confrontation’. It features ex-marine Joseph offering to take Gordon Ramsay ‘Out into the Car Park’ after copping too much abuse. Of all the people in the show, one would have thought that a former soldier would be used to this (have you seen Full Metal Jacket??!!) – maybe that is why he is an ex-marine??
