Gordon Ramsay: Vegetable Curry

I watched this last night and thought it was pathetic - the sort of thing I would have cooked 25 years ago having discovered yet another make of madras sauce and thinking I might find the "secret" from a jar.

It's neither traditional Indian nor anything near BIR.

I also read his butter chicken curry recipe which has gone into print in one of his books.
The recipe states 230 ml of tomato paste. Sure enough a lot of people it seems squirted in this amount of double concentrate tom puree and found the result disgusting!

Apparently it is ok if you use pasata instead but the recipe should be clearer.

Sometimes I wonder if any of these celebrity chefs are any good.

Rant over.....

I very much doubt that any of the telly chefs have actually cooked anything in years.

A old colleague of mine reckoned he was a bit of a foodie so his misses decided to treat him to a few days away and a meal at the Fat Duck for his birthday a few years ago. He really was looking forward to it for months and when he came back after the 'big do' he was strangely quiet about it. Turned out it was the biggest let down imaginable. HB wasn't there, most of the dishes on the menu were 'off' and they ended up being charged about ?90 each for a very ordinary steak 'n chips and the portions were so small they had to get a kebab on the way back to the hotel to fill themselves up!

As for Ramsey, I'll bet he wouldn't know a decent Ruby if he fell over one.

Yours in rant
