Gordon Ramsay's Home Cooking: Everything You Need to Know to Make Fabulous Food Description
From Booklist
Food-television enthusiasts familiar with Ramsay’s tough and abrasive broadcast personality may not think of him as a home cook, but the chef sets himself to prove that good cooking need not be complicated or unattainable for the domestic market. He scales beef Wellington back to something more affordable by eliminating foie gras in favor of ham. Coconut pancakes get an added tropical touch topped with mango slices and lime syrup. A hefty dose of chili peppers cuts lamb shanks’ customary richness. Ramsay’s cuisine draws on many traditions. Szechuan peppercorns spice chicken thighs, and chipotle peppers enhance ears of corn in the style of Mexican street vendors. Jamaican jerk chicken lacks no little fire, and even Ramsay’s chocolate mousse has a bit of chili. A section with recipes to serve just two can impress a date with seemingly effortless cooking. Ramsay’s media presence will boost demand for this volume. --Mark Knoblauch

I'd like to mention that the ULTIMATE COOKERY COURSE and HOME COOKING books from Gordon Ramsay are almost the same book! The second book is in fact an adaptation for the US market.
This review is in fact NOT a review or an evaluation of the books. It's only showing the numerous but minor differences between them:
- the first book is the original book published for the UK market (august 2012), the other is an adpatation for the US (april 2013)
- their covers are slightly different but images, texts, page layout, recipes are EXACTLY identical. There is even a matching page to page
- the original uses metric measures (grams, millilitres, cm), the adaptation uses imperial measures (cups, ounces, pounds, inches). Both use tsp and tbsp for small quantities
- the original uses ?Centigrade with gas level, the other ?Fahrenheit: 200?C/Gas 6 becomes 400?F
- some ingredients are named/translated differently: double cream becomes heavy cream, caster sugar becomes sugar, spring onions become scallions, pak choi becomes bok choy, coriander becomes cilantro, kale becomes swiss chard, plain flour becomes all-purpose flour, fillet of beef becomes beef tenderloin, tenderstem broccoli becomes baby broccoli, chillies becomes chiles, cep mushrooms become porcini, demerara sugar becomes brown sugar, courgette becomes zucchini, cornflour becomes cornstarch, icing sugar becomes confectioner's sugar, bicarbonate of soda becomes baking soda, biscuits becomes cookies, pudding rice becomes short-grain white rice, etc.
