Good old Ramsay. Just Broccoli and water. I've been trying to eat healthy, this is a great addition.

Love how he pronounces shallots.

Watching his video is kind of therapeutic. It's enchanting. He's not pretentious like some cooking hosts, yet there's a certain level of finesse the way he works in the kitchen.

He's filled with such range, I'm surprised he hasn't keeled over yet.

Alton Brown > *

Except for those cheesy ass Welch's Grapes commercials, yeah I know the man has to make a living but peddling grape juice?

The rage is just the American TV persona- encouraged by the producers. He's not even like that in any of his original UK shows or anywhere else. I guess it's kind of insulting the US audience of cheap entertainment.

And of course, who doesn't love Alton Brown. But he professed himself he's not really a chef- just a fan of cooking and analyzing.

:like;

 

[mizzou]

it's not "just broccoli and water", but the ingredients are simple and I bet it tastes damn good.

Will try this when I can find some good produce

I'm making butternut squash soup tomorrow, THAT is also simple and tasty

I just use a stick blender, to finish things off. I grew up with cream of broccoli soup that was basically butter, onions, his recipe (but, with a stick blender), and then half&half, and a little extra simmering (so that it ends up like having used scalded half&half).

TBH, lately, I've been a fan of browning meat, onions, and garlic to help make a broth, and then just making soup with whatever vegetables and grains I have around that I either feel like using up, or need to use up.

IMO, 90% of good soup is taking the time to not use prepackaged crap in it, except maybe some old bay, and another 9% is not overcooking certain vegetables and meats.

<- waiting for a bowl of instant ramen, with eggs an shredded cabbage, to cool down, so don't think I'm too snobbish about these things . But if you're going to make more than a bowl or two of soup, it's not that much harder to go all out, and the results are always better.

I love Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares UK, but I can't say I noticed a big difference in his attitude vs. the US shows.

Thanks for sharing OP

Will make that this week!

 

[JM Aggie08]

His steak looks damn good as well.

 

[child of wonder]

Just Broccoli and water.

And salt.

Ramsey restaurants are failing one after the other and have bad reviews yet he is featured on tv as some kind of restaurant genius.
He should stick to making shows like this one great recipe and presentation and very soothing to watch makes me want to try it.

Well he's an elevated 'celebrity' chef now. Which means actual cooking is the last thing he cares about. He's not a foot soldier anymore.

 

[Anubis]

i like a lot of Ramseys food but dear god he needs to lay off the speed and chill the f out

 

[Mxylplyx]

If any one here has never made Gordon Ramsey scrambled eggs, do it. Whatever you did before is now obsolete.

And for those like who have no idea what Creme Fresh is, it's sour cream, I think.

I came to post this. But Creme Freche is not sour cream. It's a specialty item that you have to go to an import market for. I really want to try it some time.

Crème Fraîche

It's not sour cream, but sour cream is a good substitute.

 

[wirednuts]

And salt.

and walnuts and creme and mushrooms and tomatos

 

[WelshBloke]

Love how he pronounces shallots.

How do you pronounce shallot?

I just made this because of this thread and as soon as I got to the part where you put it in the blender I tasted it and thought "yeah this is okay but it just tastes like liquid broccoli" so i dumped in cream cheese, minced red onions, and pepper and it tasted like a real soup after that. Ramsey fail. His tip about making sure you don't overcook the broccoli is key though.
