Gordon Ramsay Cookbooks & Recipes

It seems that despite pub closures and lacklusture reviews of some of Gordon Ramsay’s latest restaurants – his publishing empire (like his television show creation) is booming. Today sees the release of not one, but two new cookbooks by the infamous chef. Both books follow the same Self titled format as his previous publications – Gordon Ramsay’s Chef’s Secrets and Gordon Ramsay’s Desserts. We can only hope that the recipes are a little more imaginative that the publishers cover designs, which are surpirsingly similar.
