RESTAURANT GORDON RAMSAY

GORDON RAMSAY, HODDER & STOUGHTON, $110

Gordon Ramsay’s restaurant has been the holder of three Michelin stars for 22 years, where he delivers fine dining with a pedigree that is hard to argue with. With personal reminiscences and recipes for 40 exquisite signature platings, this is a truly beautiful book, from the deep grey linen cover to the heavy paper stock and the evocative images. Perhaps it belongs on the coffee table, rather than risk getting the pages splattered in the kitchen.
