Not All About the F-Bomb
Did you enjoy the 2010 series of MasterChef (we rated this the best cooking show format back in August 2009)with Gordon Ramsey ramming abuse down the television set like sausage meat into the submucosa (commonly known as the sausage casing)? Well it was not all swearing and under cooked fish, oh no, there were actually some pretty good dishes cooked during the first season.
Unleash the Inner Gordon Ramsey
The best part of creating this top ten list of recipes was the trial and taste process we underwent to refine the contenders. Rather than simple relying on an opinion, we unleashed the inner Gordon Ramsey and got stuck into to creating them ourselves. The final judging was not only based on the flavours but also on how easy the preparation and cooking was. also, Top Ten Chocolate Brownie Recipes
