Gordon Ramsay Quick and Delicious: 100 Recipes To Cook in 30 Minutes or Less

Although well-known for his experience on Hell’s Kitchen, Ramsay started as a professional chef and has an award-winning namesake restaurant in Chelsea, England. His approach in this latest book comes from the experience of spending long hours in the kitchen, relaying tips and techniques that make cooking easier and faster. His goal is to help everyday cooks find that working in the kitchen can be enjoyable, and preferable, to ordering out. The shortcuts he provides throughout, for both vegetable-based and meat dishes, work toward that goal. Moving from soups and salads (spiced squash and lentil soup) to meat-free mains (lentil burgers) to desserts (spiced peach, apple, and almond crumble), with everything in between, the collection is a good starting place for anyone looking to get started. Helpfully, Ramsay also shares a list of essential equipment and pantry items, along with suggestions for time-saving ingredients and prep methods.
