How to Make Margherita Pizza Atb Home How many of us would like to be able to cook
as well as Gordon Ramsay himself?
We know we would.
Can you imagine how awesome life would be?
You could eat like a king all the time.
Alternatively, imagine how cool it would be to
have a meal cooked by Mr. Bad Boy Chef himself.
His cooking must be incredible to have gotten himself this far.
Of course, these two concepts have been reserved to day dreams by many.
But what if you could have both?
What if Ramsay showed you how to cook something?
It would sort of be like he was cooking for you, and you
would learn how to cook like him.
Well, imagine no more!
Gordon Ramsay has released a few quick kitchen and cooking tips with his fans.
How can life get any better?
If you love pizza, then you can learn how to make one the way Ramsay
does.
In the video, he takes you through his recipe step by step.
He keeps it simple without dumbing it down.
The entire experience is like being on Masterchef Junior.
You know, being judged by Ramsay without being called an “idiot
sandwich”.
It is a lovely experience from start to finish, and you get to enjoy the product
afterwards.

Pantaleone’s Makeover One of Ramsay’s biggest successes is Kitchen
Nightmares.
If you are unfamiliar with the show, we will break it down for you.
If you are familiar with the show, just sit tight, we
will be with you in a moment.
Basically, Ramsay and his crew go to struggling businesses and give
them a total overhaul.
They look at why the restaurant is failing, and how it can be fixed.
One such restaurant was Pantaleone's.
A restaurant that claimed to have the best pizzas
in Denver.
But Ramsay found the worst pizzas in Denver.
Watching him eat the items from the menu are a little disturbing.
There is a lot of grease, and it does not look like any effort
was put into the food.
To top it all off, the owner was adamant that he was doing nothing
wrong.
Fast forward an episode, and Ramsay has worked magic.
The owner, whose thin crust pizza looked like a massive baguette, promised to
change his ways.
Ramsay even designed a magnificent menu for them, and all was well.
The problem with kitchen nightmares is often the owner, and not some tragic circumstances.
These restaurants have been run into the ground by proud and irresponsible owners (in most
cases).
Take Pantaleone’s for example.
As soon as Ramsay left Denver, the owner went right
back to making his undercooked baguette pizza bases.
But hey, whatever works for you, man.
No Pineapple on Pizza!
There has been a debate raging for almost as
long as people decided to put toppings on pizza.
What a glorious day that was.
Anyways, people have been debating whether pineapple
belongs on a pizza or not.
What is your personal opinion?
DO you enjoy pineapple on pizza?
The debate was raging fiercely, and there were many wounded egos and then Ramsay
spoke up about it.
One night, while hosting the Nightly Show, he decided to order pizza for
the audience, and have the delivery guy deliver
it to the studio while they were filming.
When he called the pizza place, he asked for some
topping suggestions from the audience.
Some poor soul suggested pineapple.
And Ramsay answered with the now iconic line- “Who
puts pineapple on pizza?”
Of course, we have to paraphrase for all the children present, there
was a bit more swearing involved.
He genuinely looked horrified, and wondered several times,
why anyone would willingly put pineapple pizza in their mouth.
Long story short, he did not order the pineapple pizza, and all was well.
The poor guy who delivered the pizza was in for
a bit of a shock when he walked into a studio that was live on the air.
On the bright side, he met some famous people and got to sit in
Ramsay’s chair.
He also mentioned that it was his first day on the job, which means he wins
the award for most memorable first day ever.
It must have all been downhill from there.
The Weirdest Pizza I’ve Ever Seen!
What is the weirdest pizza you have ever seen?
The weirdest pizza we have ever seen was a so-called fruit pizza.
Which went down as well as it sounds.
During one of his Kitchen Nightmares excursions, Ramsay was trying out
some food from another nightmare-ish restaurant.
He ordered a pizza, but what he got was the weirdest pizza he had ever seen.
This thing was a masterpiece of flops.
The cheese was congealed, and it looked as though someone
had dropped some craft glue all over it.
When he asked what it was, he was told that they
smeared ranch dressing all over it.
To make matters worse, the dressing had become a sort
of paste in the oven, and looked extremely unappetizing, which is probably why Ramsay
was so upset that he had to eat it.
Poor guy.
The rest of the food was not much better, in fact,
it was so bad, that when he saw someone who had
ordered the same thing from him, a group of priests out for lunch, he had to save them
from the taste.
He swooped to their tastebuds’ rescue, and apologized with the eloquent words
of “Forgive me Father, they have sinned.”
Which was amusing when paired with the looks on
their faces.
Pizza Recipe Challenge What is your favourite Ramsay show?
Ours is The “F Word”.
Ramsay does a lot on that show, but our favourite part are his celebrity guests.
During one episode, he invited the incomparable Johnny Vegas to a recipe challenge.
Basically, they have to make the same dish using their
own recipes.
People will taste it and decide who won the challenge.
The thing about Johnny Vegas is that he is a comedic genius.
He is known for his quick wit and hilarious jokes.
The jokes and insults were flying through that kitchen
as they both made pizzas.
We admit that we were relating with Johnny during this episode,
because he basically says what he is thinking all the time.
The man has no filter and it is wonderful.
When the men were mixing their dough, Johnny put it into a mixer, and Ramsay
jokingly accused Johnny of cheating.
Let us just say that Ramsay is the king of the
kitchen, but Johnny is the king of comedy.
What followed was a hilarious roasting, and not
the cooking kind, at Ramsay’s expense.
In the end, we don’t remember who won the challenge,
but rather the fantastic humor of Mr Vegas.
Seriously, Ramsay should host more comedians.
They just make everything better.
That, and it was nice to see Ramsay speechless for once.
After all, he is funny, but he is not Johnny Vegas funny.
The pizzas did look delicious though.
Dough Tossing Lessons Back to Kitchen Nightmares again.
What is it about these people that they cannot make a
decent pizza?
This time, Ramsay was re-launching a restaurant called,
Sebastian’s.
They had the nasty little habit of buying frozen and prepackaged food.
They would then heat up this food, spice it up
a bit and serve it to customers.
This was a bad idea all around.
Seriously, who thought that this would be a good idea?
They also had some stylish pizza ovens, that they used for a
display.
These guys have no idea about food, do they?
Anyway, so Ramsay suggested that they start making their own dough, and let
people watch as they toss the dough.
They would then use the pizza ovens and become
known for their wood-burnt pizzas.
Which sounds like an awesome idea coming from a
chef who obviously knows what he is talking about.
He then gathered all the cooks, and taught them how to toss pizza.
The manager and head chef complained that she would have
to cut her nails - pause for a moment and reflect on the fact that a professional was
cooking food with a long manicure - but otherwise, everyone seemed up for the task.
Sounds fun.
Ramsay managed to turn them all into professional tossers.
What a great guy.
How would they have been able to become such expert tossers without him?
Chocolate Bacon Pizza We should have something called the “Bad
Idea Alert”.
We are thinking of a built-in alarm system, that blares when you have a bad idea
so that you do not have to make people taste it.
We think that chefs have a special responsibility.
When we pay you for food, we want good food.
We want proper food.
So, it is a special sort of crime when you sit down
in a classy establishment, hand over your hard-earned cash and receive something you
would not even feed your dog.
We take that back, sometimes our dogs eat better than we
do.
This time, Ramsay was visiting a hotel and looking where he could fix things.
He really should not have ordered anything after
the manager told him that the food was bad.
That was not even subtle foreshadowing, that was flat-out telling him to just get to work
already.
Gordon realized this after he tasted the appetizer.
But the point was driven home when he was served a dessert pizza, that
featured chocolate and bacon.
He compared it to toilet paper after someone had been to
the bathroom.
Nevertheless, he was brave and took a large bite from the pizza.
And promptly spat it out again.
Seriously, that is such a waste of two beautiful things.
Why would anyone do that to pizza, chocolate and bacon?
We get the intent behind it, but this is exactly the sort of travesty that a ”Bad
Idea Alarm” would have prevented.
Scientists!
Get on that, please!
Gordon Ramsay Tries Pineapple Pizza Have you ever made a promise that you
immediately regretted?
If you have, then you can relate to how Ramsay was feeling in this
video.
He promised his fans that if they helped him raise enough money for charity,
then he would eat a pineapple pizza.
Remember how we said that the pineapple pizza debate
has been raging for years?
Well, Ramsay said that you should never put pineapple on pizza,
and many defended pineapple pizza and claimed that maybe if he would try it he would like
it.
Spoiler alert! - he did not.
When enough money had been raised for him to eat his
words and pineapple pizza, his staff put together a lovely surprise for him.
A pineapple pizza extravaganza if you will.
He was not impressed, and he kept stalling, but
eventually he could not get over the fact that he had to eat the pizza.
The poor guy took a big mouthful, and then spat it out.
He claimed that the only thing Hawaiian about
it, was that he wished he could throw it in the sea.
He compared it to sweet and spicy cardboard, then proceeded to tell us what
he liked to do with pineapple, and we have to
admit that he has a point.
Pineapple should be roasted with vanilla then eaten with
coconut ice-cream.
Is anyone else really hungry right about now?
Unfortunately for Ramsay, he could not get off that easy, and
had to eat another bite.
This time, he was not allowed to spit it out.
But he got the last laugh, because he brought a bottle of
mouthwash with him.
When he was done, gargled half the bottle to cleanse his refined taste
buds.
Um okay.. you do YOU, Chef Ramsay.
You do you...
Fresh Pizza Taste Can you tell the difference between a frozen
pizza and a fresh pizza?
No doubt, you probably can.
It is no secret that frozen pizzas are not as good as fresh pizzas.
During one Kitchen Nightmare’s episode, Ramsay takes the chef aside, and has him make
a pizza, then he has the owners’ taste one frozen, and one fresh pizza.
He then asks them to choose a pizza.
The wife admits that the one pizza (the frozen one) taste like
the type they make at the restaurant, while the
fresh one tastes much better.
In one fell swoop, Ramsay taught the owners a lesson,
and boosted the chef’s confidence.
It really is amazing how protective Ramsay is of chefs.
He does not want to see their creativity limited
and hates it when they are not treated with the respect that they deserve.
So, he took it upon himself to teach the owners that they
should allow their chef to make the decisions when it comes to making food.
A restaurant only runs smoothly when everyone sticks to
what they’re good at.
A good chef means the difference between a failure and a success,
and so the chef needs to be treated fairly.
And to think, they got all of that from the humble pizza.
We swear that pizza could probably solve a lot of the world’s problems.
Record Breaking Pizza Dough You may not know this, but there is a
Guinness World Record for the largest tossed pizza dough.
And being the winner that he is Ramsay decided that it was time for that
record to be broken.
Not by him of course, but by another chef.
In the ninth episode of the F Word, Ramsay gathered a crowd, and set
the stage.
He even invited someone from the Guinness Book Of World Records, to come and
see that everything was going according to plan.
Basically, the chef had a minute to break the record, and he had to make sure
that there were no holes in the dough.
The atmosphere was very excited and everyone
wanted to see what would happen.
The man started his timer, the chef began working
on the dough, and Ramsay was jumping around like
an excited kid yelling encouragement.
It was all very exciting.
We never knew we were so invested in that record until that moment.
The time was running out, but the chef remained calm and did his thing.
And finally, the time was finished and the chef had to
stand back.
Everyone, including us, watched with bated breath as the man measured the
dough.
The result?
The record had been beaten by more than 20cm!
The mark to beat was 42cm, but the chef had managed a whopping 72cm!
Joe Carlucci was the new record holder!
The crowd went wild, and he received a fancy
certificate while Ramsay threw flour all over the winner.
