Summary: Exotic
Comment: The food looks great, but most things call for some fancy ingredients. I don't have enough room in my kitchen for all the ingredients he wants you to have always on hand. I would certainly buy things to use in a recipe occcasionally, but a lot of things I don't think I would use again. The "well-stocked kitchen" things are mostly conventional, but I can't keep on hand several kinds of potatoes, several kinds of oils, several kinds of vinegar, and so on. He also wants you to grow your own herbs. I will probably make up a few of these, but the concept of "fast food" is destroyed by having to go out and buy the ingredients first.

Summary: One does not need all the time in the world to eat a healthy, delicious, and nutritious meal
Comment: One does not need all the time in the world to eat a healthy, delicious, and nutritious meal. Gordon Ramsey, celebrated TV cook, brings readers "Fast Food", a cookbook featuring recipes that can be prepared start to finish in about fifteen minutes (none take longer than half an hour apiece), and offering advice to make cooking these dishes even quicker. Readers who want a cookbook that doesn't take hours to use need look no further than Gordon Ramsey's "Fast Food". Recommended for community library cookbook collections.

Summary: Disappointing
Comment: If you are allergic, or don't like seafood, don't buy this book. It's very heavily weighted to seafood. There are also a number of ingredients that are either very hard to come by in North America, or some that I couldn't even figure out what they were! Of the other recipes, some of them are much too obvious and easy, such as fajitas...

Summary: Good food fast
Comment: I don't know what people who are familiar with Ramsay could have been expecting? I wouldn't call this gourmet cooking, but it is sophisticated... but accessible. The recipes are easy and delicious, My teen son (a Ramsay fan) and I have made several of the dishes and have enjoyed them. They are great for entertaining, as they are quick, yummy, gorgeous to look at and special enough for company. He prepares a few of the dishes on podcasts at itunes. Check them out if you aren't that familiar with Ramsay's idea of fast food.

Summary: 30 Minutes or less doesn't belong only to Rachel Ray
Comment: I know some reviewers have found this book a disappointment, but I love it. Everything I have made out of here is delicious and pretty easy to make. There have been some comments about fresh ingredients. All good chefs really make an effort to buy fresh ingredients because they make food taste better. But substituting works just fine if you can't find it. Creme fraiche can be made. It can also be found in high end stores in the dairy case. If the receipe can handle some sweetness, sometimes whipped creme can be used. I live in Arizona and believe me the stores here are pitiful, but I have found everything I need for every dish in the book. Gordon Ramsay delivers the goods and lots of his food is much better in 30 minutes than anything Rachel Ray has come up with (although I like her food, too).
