  3. Gordon you are BRILLIANT! Week one was a fantastic menu, very tasty and relatively simple to cook too. The programme is excellent and highly amusing (although Patsy Kensit was rather annoying and clearly wanted to be the centre of attention) - not gonna happen Kensit, Gordon is gorgeous, unbelievably talanted, commands respect, is funny and his passion for what he does shines through time after time, after time. Come on Gordon, get a REAL guest on to cook with you - I'd be up for it!!! As for all the moaners, if it's too late, record it. Don't like the ingredients, substitute or wait for alternative menu, offensive? don't watch - that simple! Keep up the great work Gordon - we love you and what you do!!

  4. My 16 year old son cooked for us this week and did a great job. Gordon has triggered his interest and we all had a great family meal :-)

  6. I watched the repeated version the next day on Sky at 8pm(!) with my girlfriend and what's driven me to write this is that we were appalled by the language, most of which by the horrible Patsy Kensit. We imagined many families not being able to watch it as it was on far too early (even the 9pm live version the previous day in my opinion). To be fair, Gordon was pretty funny and clean for his standards but Patsy Kensit ruined it completely with her moaning, her irritation with Gordon, her trying to be the centre of attention and her foul language and playground innuendos. When we finally switched off 10 minutes from the end we both felt really stressed! An episode of 24 afterwards seemed relaxing.

  7. I don't know how I managed to get this wrong: The ingredients list said 1kg of salmon - which I bought. My piece of salmon was literally twice the size of Gordon's though - it was all so quick I barely caught it but did he split the 1kg with Patsy so they had two 250g pieces each? We are going to be eating salmon for a week there's so much of it and it was also very expensive - it would have been useful if the ingredients list had said the 500g (to serve 4 people) that I'm pretty sure Gordon used, rather than the ginormous 1kg that even the fishmonger looked shocked at! Otherwise I did enjoy week 1 - though I spent at least an hour and a half preparing before the show and he STILL went too fast for me. It would be nice to have the ingredients for week 2 as well?

  8. I heard about the programme through a chap I work with who had a great time on Friday trying to keep up with Gordon. I fancy joining in myself, but would like to see all the menus posted on the web site so that I can plan my favourate and invite friends around to join in the cooking. I notice a few others would like this too. Any chance? Certainly, you do need the menu for the following Friday up straight after the last programme as many people shop at a weekend. Thanking you in anticipation. Kind regards Cathy

  9. Once again Gordon showed us how to make things simple -the menu was ideal for dinner for friends and the ingredients were affordable. The Menu downloaded had a surprise too - 50p off my next bottle of favourite beverage! I love the way he works, fast, funny and efficient - makes cooking more enjoyable!

  10. What ever happened to the ginger in the caramalised rhubarb and ginger crumble? Maybe i was too busy watching Patsy Kensit trot about the kitchen mumbling, mopping her brow and swearing :)I loved it, great tv, shame i haven't got a tv in my kitchen.

  13. Hi, Firstly great 1st week Gordon, loved it! However, I'm most disappointed that I cannot get the list of ingredients yet for week 2! I expected to be able to see the menu and ingredients for the following week almost straight after the 1st week? How are people expected to participate in the cookalong without knowing what's on the menu? I want to invite friends round for dinner but I need to know what I'm serving! Also I expect most people would buy the ingredients in their weekly shop at the weekend? I will keep checking but leaving it to the last minute will not be possible for everyone! Thanks Dawn x

  17. We didnt like the goats cheese or walnuts - oh well. We didnt have the pastry ready so the salmon was cooked without!! but was yummy. Then we missed how to do the caramelised rhubarb and made our own version with apples - which then stuck to pan!! so we had ice-cream instead. All in all it was good fun.Now we know our limits, but are still have a go at next weeks menu.!!

  18. My 12 year old son, Owen, cooked the Salmon dish for our lunch on Sunday, and we all loved it - including his 3, 5 and 6 year old brothers! Anything which inspires others to cook is just great - many thanks - lots of fun!

  19. I am not sure whether I was meant to be cooking, tossing or fu..ing! I am not an old purde, but is it all really necessary? Apart from that the programmes was good in that it did show you the method of completing each recipe. Cooking times and oven temperatures left a bit to be desired and it does necessitate going on to the website to get the complete recipe - a good thing may be as it lead to other things. I look forward to viewing the rest of the series as it does give me a incentive to cook recipes I might not normally try. Again - a lot less swearing would make the programme more watchable. Regards Jax

  20. I wish this was on earlier as well as my kids were very into helping and we wanted to eat it as a family. Unfortunately as they are 4, 6, and a baby we kept having to fast forward through the swearing! thus buggering up the timing. My husband made this, the caramel got dumped and we now need new pans but we would both definately use the menu again. very tasty

  22. I know this is supposed to be a fun format, but can the camera stop whirling around the studio and concentrate on what Gordon's doing on the worksurface. Too many times I looked up from what I was doing to see what how he was doing he had just mentioned for the camera to zoom back over the audience. Also Gordon, I know it's a bore, but it is not second nature to everybody - tell people to WAS THEIR HANDS, especially co-hosts when they grab you by the hair to kiss you. PS Nice to see that Gordon's swearing is all for show - he managed to get through most of the live show without it (only starting when Patsy did). In fact, it made the forced swearing in the cut-away segments sound all the more contrived and distracting.

  30. Was the most stressful thing that I have ever done, but me and my sister spent most of the time crying with laughter as we got most things wrong, was fab! We found it really hard to get rhubarb as most shops said it was out of season, used tinned instead though and was just as yummy, whole flat looked like a bomb site this morning though!

  33. I have been looking forward to watching Gordon's new show. And to be able to duplicate his menu's will no aoubt be challenging as I'm only used to cooking kiddie food and simple recepies such as shephard's pie and homemade chille and curries. It will be different and exciting. I just hope I can keep up with Gordon! Can anyone tell me how to get next week's recepie and ingredient list? I want to be prepared for next week's cookalong. Thanks

  38. Well, there seems to be two issues: 1. It's on too late - err, record it, Sky , video, DVD, whatever, it's not hard. I'm cooking the meal tomorrow and will watch it then. 2. I'm allergic to (insert food of choice) - tough, most of us aren't. I appreciate some people suffer real allergies but most on here seem to be more of the 'well I don't really like it' kind. Get over it, experiment.

  41. A very good concept that has excited me about cooking. However, Patsy was extremely irritating. Her lack of seriousness didn't help me to follow at all. Gordon is animated by nature, the last thing I need is to be distracted by someone clowning around. The show requires concentration and multi-tasking and having a guest who is not serious began to irritate me more and more half-way through the show. I hope future guests are better.

  45. A lot of moaners out there, simple....don't join in!! Im sure Gordon will create a yummy veggie menu, it is only the first week after all. Rhubarb is rhubarb isnt it?? Im sure a tin would do or frozen if you cant find the one fresh in tesco which I found. And who says the whole thing has to cost 40.00, maybe I had a few items in my store cupboard already but im sure it shouldnt be that much money, you just have to shop around, im only using salmon fillets skinned and boned from Tesco for 3.23. Come on, have a party, get the wine out and have some fun!!! Nearly ready!!!

  47. I wish that people would stop moaning on this about the menu and the air time!! Gordon Ramsay has been in the resturant business for many years.....he knows what ingredients work together and if you don't like them then substitute for something else, it is a great idea and gets people trying new things, is that not the point? Enjoy the cooking!!

Great looking food, but get into the real world Gordon; I for one wanted to try this but I can't afford it...what a shame.

  63. GOOORDON!!! Rhubarb is out of season and I have been to 3 supermarkets and 2 farm shops and a market to prove so!! And yes i have tried the frozen aisle. I am going to use apple instead and forgive this school boy error simply because we had such a good time last year doing this!

  67. The can of baked beans I suspect is just for the can - read the salad recipe - he suggests using a can or a chef cutter to cut a round crouton from the bread. So use any old can, or a scone cutter or whatever.

  68. Hmmm I am going to try this but substitute the fish for chicken and the rhubarb for apple, and teh goats cheese with mozzerella. Allergies suck--but I am determined to do this though! I think it is a fabulous idea, along with another famous TV chef to bring back cooking at home! Brilliant, I love it! TV Chefs... bring it on!

  73. Great idea in conception - but the programme is on far too late for us to enjoy an evening meal together. I feel the menu lacks any real excitement or flair - no wow factor!!!

  79. I am pretty gutted about the food choice! OK I understand that its posh nosh but surely it's better to go for a twist on recipes and ingredients that most people enjoy. I think it's important to get Britain eating healthier but scaring the public off with aquired tastes is possibly a backwards step??Hopefully next week it will be something that people really feel passionate about!?

  81. Mmm. Not a big apple fan and walnuts are not my thing either. As for Salmon well I'm allergic to fishy but I don't mind a potato with a bit of herb on it. Some HP sauce would be ok too.Rubarb makes my face contort, doing it now, and ginger, well thats going to be strong. Cream I don't mind. Why can't we have sausage and mash, with some red onion jus?

  88. 9pm! I will try to be creative and may only havea go at the main course but it will still mean that my family won't be eating until just before 10. Do you think they could show a repeat r something on a saturdy evening at 6 or something? I was looking forward to cooking for my sister who is coming over to see the family but can't as none of us want to sit there for most of the evening with rumbling stomachs. How many people do eat at 10 anyway?

  89. 7 Supermarkets and various green grocers later and still no rhubarb. Even tried to blag some from allotment owners but apparently rhubarb has been put to bed for the winter - what a lovely thought. Will have to make do with Frozen. We have friends joining us for the cookalong. Boys v girls. Let battle commence. Let's just hope that by 9.00 pm we are still in a sober enough state to grapple with pastry!

The only people in my family of five who eat salmon is my husband and my three year old son and rhubarb is so gross. I get it in the organic delivery and I feed it to the parrot. So, I will try at the next one.

  129. my husband and i are really looking forward the the new series of cookalongs, we did the last one and now i make steaks like that all the time. in fact we had one of my collegues round last week and i made him the steak chips and rocket main last week. although i dont make the chocolate desert too often as we dont want to end up with dibetes! the cookalong was hectic but great fun, plus we were stuffed! i can see why people say its quite expensive, but i worked it out and the whole menu will come to about £40. now you would spend that in a restaurant easily, and this way you learn new skills and new recipies you can put your own spin on. were not big fish fans, but its very silly to say you dont like ALL of a certain type of food as there are so many different tastes and ways of cooking things. so were very prepared to be pleasantly suprised!

  151. love the idea of cookalong think its about time we addressed the idea of home cooking, why does it have to be live? gordon cld pre-record the series, bleep out the f-words and show it on tv at 5pm. if thats too early for some, there is channel 4 1, more 4, plus chatch up on the channel 4 website! 9pm is too late as i have a baby but i wld love to take part. keep up the good work gordon!!

  154. Thanks Gordon for the opportunity to learn how to cook a decent, well balanced meal. OK, so the menu's not for everyone...come on people - stop complaining and adapt it a little to suit your taste! How boring would the world be if we all liked exactly the same food, plus there'd be a constant shortage on certain items and supermarkets would make a killing by putting their prices up on high demand products!!

  155. I'm not overly thrilled about the choices for the first menu so will probably do te starter for my partner and the main for me, we can share the pudding though. I also agree with statement about how late the show is going to be on. Eating that late can't be good for you, I've decided to Sky it then I'll do it at a normal time on the saturday. Good luck for friday everyone and happy cooking!!

  157. Terrible menu, really disappointing. Goat's cheese? Rhubarb? Brutal. Loved doing the first one but sadly giving this one a miss.

  158. Yes I agree about the supermarkets getting the ingredients all together would be so much better and encourage more people. My twin sister and I are cooking it for our husbands! I am glad its 9pm start as got a little boy so want him tucked up in bed! Looking forward to it, don't like Goats Cheese myself but will still cook it and use some other cheese for me as an alternative. Good luck Gordon and everyone else!

  164. I reckin the beans and the bread are so you can have baked beans on toast before you start, since you won't get to eat until 10.00pm!! Loving Gordont though.

  165. It would be helpful to know which ingredients relate to each dish, so if you do not want to make one of the courses you can buy the other ingredients. Where do the baked beans and white bread fit in? And hints of what to substitute the food with...for example is wholemeal bread instead of white okay? is peanut oil instead of walnut okay?

  168. most people on a friday have a takeaway either after the pub or at home this way u get to have a laugh with your mates and then eat some decent food that godrons teaches us i think he's fab and a fab role model everyone swears even though they say they dont if they put show in earlier everyone would complain about his swearing he cant win cant wait to cookalong again its a great night with friends

  169. I totally agree with "Nutty"'s comment about the late time of the show vis a vis an intended time of 10pm to eat the food. Much, much too late but wonder if it's due to the watershed and Gordon's & colourful language...?

  174. it's a shame that the first menu we were looking forward to trying features so much not suitable for a gluten-free diet. Of course the crumble is easy to alter but GF pastry certainly is more of a challenge and not easy to get right. maybe Gordon could provide advice on this???

We have friends coming over to watch us fling food and pans round the kitchen whilst screaming instructions at each other from the living room - should be comedy even if the food tastes lousy! :) PS: I LOVE rhubarb crumble so especially looking forward to the pudding!

  176. Really dissapointed that Gordon is making a dish with rhubarb at this time of year. I thought that he was so in favour of using seasonal ingredients. What is his excuse? He should have had a pudding with apples or plums.

I'm so excited, my hubby is a chef and when we meet 5 years ago I could only do beans on toast, but with his and all your cookery books's help, I can now cook which is very important as I have 2 small kids. I will do the cook along alone so it will be ready for my husband when he gets home from work. Thanks it will be such fun. x

  183. New potatoes and rhubarb in October??? Not very seasonal ingredients there Gordon. The menu sounds tasty, but more suited to earlier in the year. Hope the rest are more appropriate to the autumn.

  188. We are really looking forward to cooking this menu. My husband and I really enjoyed the last one, we had such a good laugh but it was not easy to follow the on screen instructions because we have our back to the tv when we are standing at the cooker! Also, because we were both cooking, we kept bumping into one another, so this time we will not open the wine until after we sit down to eat! Cant wait until the 24th.

  190. If they could break down the ingredients into what course they're for I'm sure we could just divide it in half for only 2 people on in quarter for only 1. Looks like a great menu to me. Too simple for some, too unusual for others, you'll never be able to please everyone but theres more to come in the series so hopefully everyone will find something they like.

My hubby Ray, doesn't like cooking and is really boring to cook for, so my 11yr old daughter Melody and I are going to buy all the ingredients, measure them out and let Daddy cook, our dinner, with Gordon! To give you some idea of his taste buds... the first breakfast he cooked for me was fried egg on toast with pickled onions and branston pickle!!!! The man's a monster! Your Rock Gordon - Loving your shows and books! Good luck with the show. Jen

  203. Was planning on joinging in with this as did the with the last one. However, now that I see the menu don't think I'll bother. Beef or Chicken is a much safer option for appealing to the masses. Reckon I'll try a recipe from Jamies Ministry of Food instead!!! Hopefully the next one will be better Mr Ramsay. ;0)
