One quick note...Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares

Speaking of Gordon... The new season of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares is back on BBC and he is returning to his old stomping ground... the Fenwick Arms -- one of my favs, La Parra de Burriana in Spain.

More Gordon

I mentioned earlier that I really enjoy Gordon Ramsay, particularly his BBC show Kitchen Nightmares. If I had lots of $$ and time, I would go on a Ramsay BBC tour of the UK. Anyway, I am reading one of his books about his life, Roasting in Hell's Kitchen....not sure how you write more than one... anyway, I am truly enjoying the book, particularly his business style. His style acutally parallels corporate America.

Gordon Ramsay Anyone?

Okay, I admit it...I love Gordon Ramsay. Next time I am in NYC or London, I am definitely going to visit one of his restaurants. I also love the BBC version of Kitchen Nightmares. Anyway, my wonderful mother gave me a Gordon Ramsay cookbook for Christmas and I gave one recipe a go tonight...a relatively easy one. Tagliatelle with mushrooms -- I didn't have time to make my own pasta -- will I ever? And, I could not find Tagliatelle, so I used a long wide pasta that I found at Giant Eagle which worked fine. Essentially, it was mushrooms, shallots, olive oil, butter, cream, arugula, parmesan, and pasta -- in that order. How could it not be good?
