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.

Some limited information is now available on the next Gordon Ramsay Cook Book – Gordon Ramsay’s Great British Pub Food. We now have some hints on some of the dishes that will be included!

In this outstanding new cookbook, Gordon Ramsay teams up with Mark Sargeant to showcase the best of British cooking. Packed full of sumptuous and hearty traditional recipes, Gordon Ramsay’s Great British Pub Food is perfect for relaxed, homely and comforting cooking. Pubs were once a place where you could always guarantee good, simple, cheap food and a great Sunday roast, but when the steak houses and fast food chains arrived the good home cooking from the pub kitchens was replaced with tasteless, defrosted meals. Then came the gastropubs, which weren’t much better, serving mediocre food at restaurant prices.

That’s why when Gordon Ramsay and Mark Sargeant set up the Gordon Ramsay pubs in London they wanted to produce the sort of simple but delicious British classics that warm the cockles of your heart and to serve them at affordable pub prices. Dishes like rich, hearty Chicken and Smoked Bacon Pie, mouth-watering Gloucestershire Sausages with Grainy Mustard Mash and Red Onion Marmalade and indulgent Treacle Tart – classics that have stood the test of time. Now Gordon has gathered his favourite British recipes into one sumptuous collection so you can invite your friends round, serve some good, English ale and cook the best in traditional pub food classics in your own home.

In case you just got off a deserted island and don’t know who Gordon Ramsay is, here is the profile that Amazon keeps on the great man and his protege!

Gordon Ramsay’s radical career change at 17 years old led him to London and to huge success as chef, restaurant-empire-builder and TV star. Gordon has published ten bestselling recipe books and has starred in the hugely successful television series Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares, Hell’s Kitchen, The F Word and Gordon Ramsay’s Cookalong Live. In 2006 he was appointed OBE.

Mark Sargeant first worked with Gordon Ramsay at Aubergine before spending three years as Sous Chef at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in Chelsea. He left there to open the highly acclaimed Gordon Ramsay at Claridge’s where he is Head Chef. Most recently, Mark has been overseeing the opening of Gordon Ramsay’s pubs The Narrow, The Devonshire and The Warrington, which opened to excellent reviews and press coverage.
