Gordon Ramsay's Secrets divulges many of the unique preparation techniques, time-saving culinary tricks and other secrets he has learnt in his career. For instance, Gordon is famous for his wonderful combinations of flavours - one of his secrets is to infuse frozen stock cubes with flavoured oil then float them in hot soup so the flavour bursts in after a slight delay. A wonderful time-saver is to pre-poach eggs the night before, keep them refrigerated and then trim them to shape before dropping them briefly in hot liquid before using. The book is also a collection of over 100 new recipes for shellfish, poultry, game, pasta, eggs and desserts.
