If you can get past the stupid reality shows, Gordon Ramsay is a pretty
darn good chef. I sincerely doubt he'd have people working for him for
decades if he treated his staff the way he does on those "reality" shows.

There are some great videos Youtube featuring Ramsay making simple
dishes special. I like this one. Scrambled Eggs:

He burned the toast. LOL I wouldn't go to all that trouble for
scrambled eggs even if I was having really special company.

But the broccoli soup... oh yes!

Yes, he has some pretty good recipes (although I would not spend all that
time and energy on scrambled eggs). I do have one of his cookbooks, but I
am not willing to watch him insulting and degrading people on this so-called
"reality" shows.
