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!

The lengths that some people will go to when trying to impress people or appear to trump a celebrity. We all know that Gordon Ramsay is anal when it comes to food quality (that’s how you get three Michelin stars in one location, not mention multiple others!), so here some moron thinks that he can take advantage of the Gordon Ramsay some of us know and love from television, and question the food quality from one of his own restaurants.
I thought I’d seen it all when a female reporter from Channel Seven in Australia chased Gordon into his hotel and tried to instigate something by asking dumb questions (I’m a woman – have you got anything to say to me Gordon? in response to the circus surrounding Tracy Grimshaw). Well this one takes the cake.
Some idiot sits next to an alleged food critic who orders a well-done steak (crap detector goes wild). The alleged food critic is amazingly surpised to find that the meat is tough and rubbery. The claim is that this scene takes place in Gordon Ramsay’s Maze restaurant in London. Then the idiot presenter shows Gordon Ramsay a photo of the steak, in Australia, months later and asks for a comment, thinking he has the great chef cornered.
Gordon politely tells the guy he is a tool and explains why people don’t order well-done meat if they want to actually taste the cut they have ordered.
Well done Gordon – you kept your temper – which is precisely what this knob hoped you wouldn’t do. Amazing reporting moron – you’re a special for A Current Affair or Today Tonight – trashy, set-up reporting, pity it backfired!
Here’s the clip if you could be bothered – I won’t even link to it, then they don’t get the credit – you’ll have to copy and paste yourself.
In the press conference, Gordon Ramsay appears all business, not the usual jovial Gordon! We later learned that the star of Kitchen Nightmares had a bout of food poisoning to go along with jet lag and thus couldn’t attend a function on Thursday regarding the launch of Maze in Melbourne next year. HE did inspect the restaurant which will be opened next year and is said to be happy with the progress (what could they have done??)
Reports state that Tana Ramsay will be joining her husband in Queensland, although her recently broken wrist may change her plans!
Gordon Ramsay is the headline chef, attracting a surcharge to see him at the Good Food and Wine Show this year.
We’ll be hearing a lot more from Gordon Ramsay while in Australia for the next month, here is the rather subdued press conference to kick of his national tour!

An article the Prague Daily Monitor – says yes!
I can’t wait until the Trashy Press gets this article and uses it to fuel the ‘Gordon Ramsay’ is going broke line of crap that they have all been towing lately. Business isn’t good, it’s time to consolidate and cut some losses – it doesn’t mean the ship is sinking!
Gordon Ramsay opened ‘Maze’ in Prague in November 2007 and the article reports that a lack of customers may have been the reason for the ‘revision of business relations’ despite a quote from the chef stating “We do not have fewer customers than our competition. Maze looks empty because it has a greater number of tables.”

While other reports have sighted Gordon Ramsay in Los Angeles prerparing for the latest season Of Kitchen Nightmares USA (and been trashing him about his alleged fake tan and lighter coloured hair – such important topics!) the real news is Gordon Ramsay in South Africa.
As part of the ever expanding Gordon Ramsay Holdings – the latest edition of the restaurant MAZE, will be opening in Capetown. It will be part of the ‘One and Only’ Resort and feature the now almost-standard Chef’s Table. We can only wonder if it will follow the Gordon Ramsay theme of featuring ‘local produce’ and if so, exactly what that would be (insert least favourite African animal here!)?
No rumours yet surrounding a Hell’s Kitchen show, as there is around the Australian version of Maze in 2010, but since doora are apparently opening on May 1 of this year, I figure not even Gordon Ramsay himself could pull that one off!
The notoriously slow official Gordon Ramsay Fansite has no mention of the restaurant, under the restaurant section, nor under the news section – the latest news is from November talking about bookings for New Years Eve!
Caterersearch.com was the source of most of this information and had an official comment about plans for further opening of ‘Maze’ restaurants across Europe and Australasia that are currently in negotiations!
So if you are in Capetown after May 1, get down to the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront and get your taste of Gordon Ramsay – South African Style!
