Here’s the blurb from the official press release – 2 days until release – Gordon Ramsay ‘s latest cookbook – Great British Pub Food.

‘Keep it simple and make it tasty’, that’s the mantra behind Gordon Ramsay’s pubs designed to give the public great tasting British food, served alongside a good pint, that won’t break the bank. In his new cookbook, GORDON RAMSAY’S GREAT BRITISH PUB FOOD, Ramsay teams up with fellow chef Mark Sargeant to help you recreate some of the classic pub dishes at home.

GORDON RAMSAY’S GREAT BRITISH PUB FOOD features over 120 recipes based on the dishes served at Gordon Ramsay’s own critically acclaimed pubs – classic British dishes that have stood the test of time. All the recipes are simple but delicious and range from the traditional such as Crab Cakes, Venison Stew and Treacle Tart to more unusual dishes such as Potato, Bacon and Oyster Soup, Citrus Spatchcocked Quail with Sautéed Potatoes and Pimms Jellies.

GREAT BRITISH PUB FOOD’s simple and user-friendly format makes it both accessible and a pleasure to read. Chapters are split into pub favourites including Bar Food, Soups and Broths, Catch of the Day, Comfort Food and Puddings, the latter containing as wonderful a selection of dishes as you would expect from a nation famous for its hearty desserts, including Sussex Pond Pudding, Jam Roly Poly and Gypsy Tart.

The book encourages the use of easily sourced and traditional ingredients, as well as some economical cuts of meat, to create a range of affordable and tasty British dishes. Crowd pleasers such as Toad-in-the-Hole, Steak and Kidney Pie and Hake in Beer Batter with Mushy Peas are included in the book, alongside Potted Hough (shin of beef), Fried Sprats and Rabbit Hot Pot.

Beautifully illustrated with Emma Lee’s stunning photography, all shot in natural light and revealing the simplicity of each dish, GORDON RAMSAY’S GREAT BRITISH PUB FOOD is the perfect book for anyone seeking relaxed, homely and comforting cooking at its best.
