It has been a few slow Gordon Ramsay news weeks – it seems the British Tabloid media may have forgotten about him for a while – there hasn’t been a trashy story for at least a week!

Luckily what we have seen in the past week is a number of opportunities worldwide to win a piece of Gordon Ramsay.

In Australia you can win an expenses paid trip to a fundraising dinner at Sanctuary Cove in Queensland for stating what meal you would most like Gordon Ramsay to serve.

In the UK you can win a table at the F Word Restaurant for the upcoming fifth season of the hit show by simply stating which local restaurant is your favourite.

In Canada – you need to know some Gordon Ramsay trivia in order to win Gordon Ramsay’s latest cookbook – Gordon Ramsay’s Great British Pub Food.

So get out your local proxy servers and enter to win!

While trolling the web, I came across the following information which will be of interest for Gordon Ramsay Fans in Canada, as well as those diehard fans that like to travel or have lots of frequent flyer miles!

I just came across this fantastic Gordon Ramsay Interview recorded last year, shortly before the release of the second series of Kitchen Nightmares USA and only days after the great “Gordon Ramsay vs the Puffins of Iceland” incident.

Gordon Ramsay speaks about Hell’s Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares and what a great but different rush, each one gives him. He also gives some great advice on cooking and opening restaurants (when to and when not to bother!) as well as his favourite Puffin recipe.

The interview is 15 minutes of fantastic audio and gives you an insight into how passitionate Gordon Ramsay is, he probably gives hundreds of these interviews every month, yet this one especially, doesn’t seem like he is just giving stock standard answers!

Gordon Ramsay also gives his thoughts on how restaurant qualifications should be overseen by the Government, his thoughts on chefs who copy and are inspired by his recipes as well as what the F in the F-Word television show means!

This Gordon Ramsay interview also gives listeners a few hints on his new television show in the USA a cross between Cookalong Live and the F-Word.

Finally find out why Gordon Ramsay tells the interviewer that she is interviewing like a Donkey by going to this link
