A note on Gordon Ramsays’s Broccoli Soup

So my wife would be returning home tonight from her family trip and she requested a simple vegetable soup that didn’t require a stock base.   After looking around a bit, I found Chef Ramsay’s broccoli soup and some guidance notes at epicurious.com ( https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/member/views/gordon-ramsays-broccoli-soup-50090789 ); after watching Chef Ramsay’s video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KR44a_5v_A , I revised […]

Gordon Ramsay’s Shallot Red Wine Sauce

Previously, on tastingmenu.wordpress.com – * https://tastingmenu.wordpress.com/2014/01/25/individual-beef-wellingtons/ So, I was thinking about the wellingtons I’d recently done and how I might go about improving the dish with a sauce.  A good friend of mine recently told me that Chef Ramsay had been serving the wellingtons with a dark (red wine?) sauce on episodes of Hell’s Kitchen.  […]

Individual Beef Wellingtons

I started thinking about what I wanted to do for special occasions/holidays.  I finally came upon the notion of doing individual Wellingtons in honor of a dear long departed friend who made this festive dish for a crowd years ago.  After some searching, I finally came across Chef Gordon Ramsay’s version.
