Gordon Ramsay's Great Escape Gordon Ramsay The British love affair with Indian cooking has long been underway; today dishes like tikka masala and balti curries are as popular and well loved as the more traditional roast beef. In his Great Escape, Gordon Ramsay travels across India tasting dishes and compiling recipes. As well as the usual meat, fish, and vegetarian meals, there are breads, chutneys, accompaniments, snacks and street type food. The usually neglected sweets get a good chapter here too; coconut burfi and rosewater kulfi are typical offerings. There is also a very useful glossary of ingredients and lots of colour pitcures. Hardcover, 272 pp. $34.95. Gordon Ramsay's World Kitchen Gordon Ramsay The latest offering from Gordon is full of recipes from his tv show The F Word, with each chapter covering a different area of world cuisine.

Full colour pictures to accompany each recipe. Hardcover, 256 pp. $43.95. Gordon Ramsay's Great British Pub Food Gordon Ramsay If only pub food always looked this good!

Always candid, and humorous, he says he took all of his Delia Smith books to Oxfam after he saw her using canned mince (ground beef), he was so disappointed after all the confidence she gave people and the impact she has had on people's cooking. Back to Ramsay, this latest book is very straight forward and family oriented with lots of chatty advice. Hardcover, 272 pp, $34.95.
