Gordon Ramsay’s Great British Pub Food
£9.50
In his 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.

I have really enjoyed reading through this and trying some of the excellent recipes. The book covers a large number of dishes most cooks will already make my their version off, but don’t take that as a bad thing. Instead I think of it a bit like the Cook Off’s on the F-Word where Gordon shows the celebs his take on their signature dish, mainly resulting in a really good alternative.
I have tried the bangers and mash and the chicken and bacon pie to great success. I am sure the others will be just as easy. Compared to Jamie Oliver’s random mutterings on a page that sometimes leave vital decisions to the imagination, Gordon’s recipes are easy top read and follow. For a nice change these ones are very realistic midweek home fayre too. You don’t have to throw a dinner party, scour oriental supermarkets or any of the other nonsense many cookbooks result in. Instead the vast majority of recipes are best serviced by a herb garden, a trip to the butcher, the greengrocers and some store cupboard essentials, my kind of cooking.
My only wish with this book is that some of the bloomin awful pubs around my house go buy this and take on some of the recipes. It is near impossible to name one that provides what I class as good pub food, instead it is either carveries or menus so big there isn’t a cat in hells chance of anything being fresh. A simple mixture of some nice grill basics and 4-6 specials for the week should be enough for any of them.

Finally found a book that has more than one or two recipes I like, packed with useful information and hints. Will keep me busy for months

There are a blend of recipes in this book which vary from pub food to a slightly more advanced level.Though a fan of the man could manage and thoroughly enjoy these recipes.

This is my favourite Gordon Ramsey book.
I have cooked many of the recipes
They are often quick to prepare and tasty with the usual GR twists
Salmon with brown shrimps was surprisingly well received by my guests and the Potted Shrimps were lovely but they are all good recipes that fit in with everyday life.
I have all GR books and they rarely disappoint but some are expensive and if you just want to eat something delicious, this is the book to have!

Not sure which pubs this book is based on but I have never seen 90% of these recipie’s in a pub before. A lot of the ingredients are not available easily and would need to be bought online which for me is not convenient enough.
Saying that the casseroles/stews were really good and where the only ones in the book worth cooking
