I really recommend this book, ‘Gordon Ramsay’s healthy appetite’, it contains 125 recipes all of which look very inviting and easy to cook. have not had time to test yet but I am looking forward to having a go.

Great to see a wide selection of interesting fish (nineteen) and seafood (another eight) recipes.
I also appreciate the inclusion of game dishes – venison, pheasant, pigeon, partridge and guinea fowl. Too many ‘healthy eating’ cookbooks focus on low nutrient chicken breast.
But why oh why photograph the smoothie, coleslaw and fruit salad recipes, but not the five oily fish recipes crammed onto pages 78 and 79?
Whilst a few recipes include mineral-and-fibre-rich beans and lentils, the opportunity was missed to encourage the use of mineral-and-fibre-rich wholegrains in the pasta, rice and noodle dishes.
Misinformation: page 68 claims “five a day is the recommended intake … of fruit and vegetables”. Nope: the guideline is *at least* five a day in the UK (seven to ten in most other western countries).
More misinformation: page 76 claims “oily fish must be fresh – tinned tuna, sardines etc won’t give you the same benefits because most of those omega-3s are lost in the canning process.” Nope: that only applies to tuna. Canned sardines, pilchards, salmon and mackerel are rich in omega-3s and vitamin D, but do use the oil-rich liquid not just the meat.
Overall I am undecided if I will recommend this book to my nutrition clients.

Wonderful, inventive recipes that inspire not only a healthier way of eating but are just great in themselves. The sort of book where I want to work my way through every recipe (and probably will). Just ordered a second copy for my cooking but health conscious son. Terrific! Well done Gordon.

A friend introduced me to this book when they cooked something from it one day. I bought it soon after and have cooked a great many of the recipes. I haven’t found one that isn’t a) easy to make and b) delicious. My kids love it when they know we’ve cooking something from this book as everything has been very successful.
The great thing is that with a staple cupboard of a few quality and easy to obtain ingredients – Mirin, Soy Sauce, Oyster Sauce, Sake, Hoi Sin Sauce, Sesame Oil etc. – you have the basis for many of the recipes. Nothing in this book is too difficult and although there are recipes that involve some marinating the actual cooking part tends to be quick and easy. There’s nothing more daunting than an endless list of ingredients, but this book tries to keep it reasonably simple yet the flavours are absolutely vibrant. The punch line of course is that the food you end up with is healthy and nutritional – the delicious flavours are a mere bonus!
Perfect as a starter cook book for anyone who enjoys a taste of the orient and good, healthy food.

Have been using this for a while now, have tried 5-10 recopies – all very good – healthy and tasty. Remember that ‘healthy’ is the key word for this book if you’re thinking about flavour. Recommended.

i like the recipes in this book but the book i received is a library book? it has the plastic cover on and a load of stamps inside? if idve known it was a library book id be sent i would rather have gone and got a nicer version of the book.
by Melina
The recipes are really nice, and original for the most. It is just that i love having the photos from the chef, to see the finished product as HE visualized it! And in this book, i missed just that!

Some really nice recipes here. Enjoying so far the Fennel and peas and broadbean salad and the Borscht. The book design not as stylish as his recent books, but does the job!
