Gordon Ramsay would not want me to call him a celebrety chef. Yet that is what he is, a chef who is a celebrety. He has three tv shows in production, Kitchen Nightmares, Hell’s Kitchen and The F Word. He has restaurants all over the world. He has cookware.

Fast Food is part of his campaign to get more women to go back to the kitchen. His company did a survey and found out that the majority of British women don’t cook. He wants to make cooking easy and fun.

Unfortunately, while there are some lovely recipes in this cookbook, I found that Ramsey has left some crucial details out. For example, he will tell you to heat some oil on the stove, but not at what temperature to do so. He also assumes that the home chef has better knife skills than they do. Both of these leadi to some burnt food. For someone who purports to be trying to "get women back in the kitchen" these vague directions could lead to a non-cook getting discouraged and giving up.

So if you do use this book, be sure to chop things up first and keep things at a lower temperature
