Chicken with Morel Mushroom Sauce

....and you with the turkey and truffles???  Stop already. Its a shame for the truffle.

Cooking is not rocket science........its about combining the ingredients to make one fantastic dish and being a little creative. Some of what Ramsay does I can do without problem and enjoy my own variations of some of his dishes.

This dish however, I find it sad he tosses the morels out as they are usually the nicest part of the dish. Also to refine the sauce a bit, use a shot of cognac when you start to sautée - it ads some great earthiness to the mushroom (or any mushroom dish).

All his vids have pointed, succinct, and usually crucial tips on the steps to make the dish. Otherwise, it doesn't come out as expected. I have made at least 12 of his suggestions and they all came out magnificent. As with the majority of the posts here; it helps the more advance chef. But hey, how does one advance except for mentors like Gordon.

done...

Definitely like these quick to the point no nonsense tips and recipes Ramsey puts together. As others have pointed out, short on details and specifics but these are not geared toward beginning cooks. If you know your way around the kitchen and aren't intimidated with fast technique, you can really learn a lot with these.

This isn't about how to cook food, the technique and cutting skills etc.

It's about the key elements of a specific dish. He gives you the ingredients and the order for preparation, and discusses some of the food chemistry behind why.

Personally, I've learned two tricks from watching his videos so far that I have NEVER seen watching hours of cooking technique video''s.

It's a show for people looking to become better chefs, not beginners.

This is telling how to make the dish not HOW to make the dish. The video as it's being shown is assuming one already knows how to cook. I agree, if you want to learn how to cook then find other video's. Looks yummy. I'm going to make it.

"This is telling how to make the dish not HOW to make the dish"

wtf?

[octaveman]

He's telling you how to make the dish not how to cook the dish. People were wanting technique. This video isn't about technique. It's about a dish and what goes in it. If people already don't know how to cook this video is useless. For people who already know how to cook this video is great. I think it's great.

Food porn. Edited like a rock video with no emphasis on technique,only pretty pictures machine gunned at you with a rock soundtrack.

Do you actually learn how to properly cook the dish?

[michaelnrdx]

I agree. You never learn anything from Gordon Ramsay. If you're looking for techniques, try Julia Child or Jacques Pepin. They're much better teachers.

[Magrakamajiora]

I disagree...I've learned so much from this guy, he basically was my entire motivation on learning how to cook. Now I've only been cooking for 2 or 3 years and I'm working at a really upscale place, open kitchen, chef's tables, dinner menu and a tapas menu, the whole works. Honestly, he's a great teacher and I owe much of my success to him.

[michaelnrdx]

Some people are naturally more talented than others. I don't find his teaching method effective for a broad range of people.

Next to the truffle, quite a rare mushroom. Mmm...This would be VEY good with a tiny bit of truffle!
