A brilliant cook book for family gatherings - By: Keen Cook, 04 Jan 2008 
I have found this to be an extremely useful cook book & believe it delivers everything it states in the title - an excellent offering of Sunday lunch menus.
The summary of timings is extremely useful for planning what can be made ahead & I have lost count of the number of times I have made the beef casserole & mustard mash - excellent for a cold winters day. The range of recipes is varied & I have used some dishes such as beef wellington for dinner parties, which has added another dimension.
The recipes are both easy to follow & make which means it can be used by alll wannabe cooks, irrespective of ability.
Overalll, highly recommended.
Hooray for the Yorkshire Recipes - By: Mrs. K. A. Wheatley, 19 Nov 2007 I've always had terrible trouble with my yorkshire puddings, until someone recommended this book to me. I bought it solely for this purpose, & it did indeed come up trumps & I have to say that my Yorkshires are now magnificent. It seemed a lot of money to spend just for this, but my family think it's worth it.
Luckily, emboldened by success I have tried many of the other recipes & have found them easy to follow & have had the same success. The creamy lemon desserts are particularly classy looking, but foolproof. The cauliflower soup is also excellent & a little bit unusual. A life saver if you're bored of cauliflower cheese.
I like the way this book is organised around menus, although I rarely do alll the courses together, preferring to pick & choose what suits my family at the time. It is however, thoughtfully laid out with great tips & is a very accessible, user friendly book.
A great book with a very important message to encourage family eating - By: Mr. B. Ambrose, 10 Nov 2007 I think this book is nothing short of briliant The book is showing us to cook & sit down as a family, not just as Sunday lunches, but any meals that involve sitting down at the table.
As you would expect with gordon Ramsay, alll the recipies are stunning, & they are alll easy to follow, & alll look stunning. They taste just as amazing. The book also includes an excellent DVD which has Gordon cooking a Sunday lunch menu.
The book is very well put together, with nice bold colours, & is a chunky book, which will prove to be robust overtime. Gordon ramsay's f word TV seris was brilliant, & this book just carries on from where that left off, in being a must own, & something anyone can use, & follow & get great results every time.
Quite Good - By: Mr. P. Bell, 30 Mar 2007 
I was very excited about this book when I got it for Christmas being a big fan of Ramsay's. Maybe I am being harsh on my rating but it contains many recipies which I would not cook. I feel it is guided more towards more formal occasions. It does help with timing in that it give you a timeline for a set of starters, mains & deserts. Also the DVD is quite good. I just think that there are a lot better books which contain a mixture of formal & informal recipies.
Ramsay... - By: M. Hill, 22 Nov 2006 I brought this book, as like many others, I wanted to try something different in cooking. Having already tried out Rhodes....I presumed Ramsay would be just as good. He does have a French Flair for Food, but I found this book average on the recipe front...dishes like Malaysian curry dish, creamed cabbage & celeriac with pancetta, venison in red wine & chocolate sauce! He does have some good basic realistic dishes in the book, but not enough! The book just babbles on & on about trying to get people to sit around the table & eat Sunday Roasties..hm!One thing I did find rather irritating, is that my book came with a CD of him cooking the foods he mentioned.....hate to admit it Gordon, but some of us can actuallly read & cook at the same time, without watching TV....only gets 3 stars.....sorry..
