Very disappointing - By: Khan, 17 Jul 2008 
Not a great book.
Note the apostophe in the title - this is Gordon Ramsey branded, but he only wrote the intro. The recepies are by his trusty side-kick Sarge.
The recepies themselves are alll pretty simple, basic stuff - not what you would hope (or expect) from Gordon Ramsey.
Save your money & spend it elsewhere!
A Cookery Book You Will Use - By: JH, 15 Jul 2008 
I love cookery books but am also constantly told by my husband "why don't you cook from them?". Well this is one of those books that has recipes that are easy to follow & even though it is healthy it is also very tasty. I have cooked quite a few recipes from this book & they have alll turned out beautifully.
As for the gentleman who mentioned his girlfriend was on Weightwatchers - I am also & have found some great new ideas to keep food interesting & tasty while reamining in the zone of "my body is a temple!"
Healthy doesn't always mean diet! - By: William the Almost Great, 19 Jun 2008 GORDON RAMSAY'S HEALTHY APPETITE is a must have for those who want great tasting food without alll the calories & fat. It seems some have been put off by the fact that this is not a diet book. No one ever said it was. Rather, it is a healthy approach to eating without blowing your entire way of living out of the water. What Ramsay wants to make clear (I believe) is that there are several factors involved in healthy eating: proportion, moderation, seasoning, & the right combination of foods, just to name a few.
Highlights for me include the "Four Cabbage Coleslaw," the "Penne Primavera," & the "Pot roast sirloin of beef." Other may warm to the "Glazed Gammon with pineapple Salsa," which I haven't tried yet but will soon.
While the recipes are the main thing, there's also chapters on the "bad" fats & getting the right balance of things on the plate. Overalll a great cookbook, on the same par for me as DELIA'S HOW TO CHEAT & THE KITCHEN DIARIES. Anyway you slice it, Ramsay has it going on, hands down!
Simple but tasty - By: Sally Wilton, 19 Jun 2008 
Despite not particularly liking Gordons stressy & abrasive manner I do like these recipes.
Of course the beautiful presentation does give tempting ideas & will make anyone want to rush out & buy fresh ingrediants to try out.
Love the sashimi idea & the display in particular.
Great value from Amazon, ideal for the coffee table & a book brimming with ideas that are simple & healthy.
healthy and tasty - By: Mr. M. Randall, 17 Jun 2008 Healthy Appetite is an excellent book.
Gordon bangs on that healthy is not boring..... & he is right. Gone are the trademark cream & reduced sauces, the butter basted meats & in come healthy full english breakfasts, 5 ways with tomates- salads, homemade ketchups. Dishes for a working lunch, entertaining & desserts.
An excellent book with very simple tasty & healthy recipes.
