MasterClass Cooking II: Restaurant Recipes Key Takeaways
This class has a great variety of top class recipes. Even though these recipes can be challenging, Gordon Ramsay has created a very detailed class that goes step by step through the methods. Some of the great recipes from this class include, roasted eggplant with basil and feta, crispy duck with red endive and spinach, and a red wine poached egg, asparagus, and mushrooms dish.
Cooking is not a sprint—it’s a marathon.
What I found really beneficial was Gordon Ramsay’s approach to no waste cooking. He uses this method throughout the class while also including a section with three recipes that use the entire chicken. These recipes include a hoisin chicken and pickled daikon, Szechuan Pepper Roasted Whole Chicken Stuffed with Lemon, Fennel, Onion, and Thai Basil, and lastly a Szechuan Chicken Breast and Udon Noodles which also takes advantage of the chicken broth.
