When opening this cookbook for the first time, I half expected Gordon Ramsay to start yelling at me. "Just close the book! You can't cook anything, you donkey!" Thankfully, this cookbook shows Gordon's softer side and is chock full of very approachable recipes and advice. I was excited to see a "Working Lunches" section in this book, especially since winter vacation was winding down. With the inevitable return to work comes the daily stressful, anxiety-filled, dilemma that leaves me sneaking out the door "forgetting" my lunchbox - what to make for lunch?! Just thinking about it leaves me in a cold sweat...
Anyone who has watched Kitchen Nightmares knows that Gordon Ramsay appreciates quality ingredients treated simply. The lunches featured in Gordon Ramsay's Fast Food fit the bill with minimal complicated prep and maximum yummy flavor! A recent and inexplicable yearning for bagels made Ramsay's "Pastrami & cream cheese bagel" seem simply irresistible. Time to get toasty!
