Would you buy Tana Ramsays Books??

[puddicat]

Well the wife of mr ramsay has had 3 cookbooks on sale best sellers and isnt even a trained cook, would you buy one, for me certainly not,just another addition to the ramsay coffers!!!

Maybe not for long if rumour has it.

Just because she's not trained doesn't mean she can't cook though.

i can cook jen but would i get a book published,without a reference to a famous husband!!

I've got the first two of her books and I find myself using them quite often. They both have lots of good recipes and are well laid out and easy to follow. I can't say abou the third as I haven't got that one yet.

Hi puddicat, hope you're ok, no I would not buy it, just because I don't feel that I need to! Lot of free good recipes on the net,l if you want them!!

Usually I would agree with you, but it's all marketting isn't it? You could say that about pretty much anyone, I bet Britney Spears, or Kate Moss or J-Lo aren't trained in perfue making but they still sell perfumes.

I happened across a recipe of Tana's online a while back, for a cake, and it was really good and I use it all the time now.

I doubt very much that any of the recipes are her own and they merely stick her name on it, she's a bit of a yummy mummy figure isn't she?

i brought a similar point up about her doing it because of who her husband was and was informed that her first book was published befoer gordon was famous.

people buy celebrity keep fit dvd's and none of them are trained personal trainers

I have all of them and they are really good and simple to follow. I also have all of Gordon's books which are more complex. It doesn't really matter who her husband is at the end of the day. There are a lot of cookbooks out there by people who are not professionally trained (Raymond Blanc, Ainsley Harriet etc) so I dont really see it being a problem.
