Translators from Glebov translation agency participated in the interview with Gordon Ramsey

Translators from Glebov translation agency participated in the interview with Gordon Ramsey. The full version of the interview and also a lot of interesting facts about the cookery and not only about this you will be able to find in the December’s issue of the magazine Pay attention with Tetiana Ramus («Обрати Внимание с Татьяной Рамус»).

Michelin remains the most established and respected food guides and I’m honoured to have been a part of it, it’s always fantastic to be recognised when the results are announced.

The cuisine of each restaurant really reflects the local area. The standards, in terms of food, service and design remain the same throughout the world but each restaurant varies depending on its location. The menus at Forte Village and Castel Monastero showcase the best of the local area, cooked with finesse.

Are the dishes from high cuisine prepared from special ingredients or the exclusivity of this type cuisine is in something else?
We’re very lucky in our restaurants that we can use beautiful ingredients. Of course it`s fantastic to be able to use stunning cuts of meat and the best vegetables but the preparation and cooking is just as important. It’s easy to ruin an expensive piece of meat or make a cheaper cut taste beautiful.

Who is the better cook in your opinion: a man or a woman? Do you let your wife cook?
Women can be phenomenal chefs! Look at Angela Hartnett and Clare Smyth. Women tend to be calmer and more controlled in the kitchen. In terms of actual skill I don`t think there`s any difference between the sexes. At home Tana will normally cook during the week and I`ll take over at weekends. It`s great to get the kids involved as well.

What do you eat at home every day?
I tend to just cook something really simple. Maybe a little pasta dish or a steak with a nice salad.

Do your children want to connect their future with the high cuisine?
If they want to work in the industry I`ll support them but that goes for whatever they choose to do.

What do you find attractive in the TV-shows? Don't you think that these competitions are to some extend a kind of sport that you had to leave? Are the temperature and the wish to win the same there?
The best thing about the TV shows is finding new talent and watching it grow throughout the series. It`s fantastic to see contestants confidence and skill growing.

How many people did you accept to work to your restaurants after the show? What are the social projects that you are participating?
Over the years we have taken people on who have taken part in the shows. It`s always exciting to hear what people have gone on to do, there have been some brilliant achievers.

It is visible that you are not in fear of difficulties and start a lot of difficult projects. Would you like to try to help the restaurants to achieve the European level in such a country as our country?
Ukraine is an incredible and fascinating country  so never say never!

Aside the collaboration with Fortevillage and Castel Monastero, what are the projects that you are planning to create in the future?

We have just opened a stunning new restaurant in London called Bread Street Kitchen. It`s been open a month and we`re all really proud of it. Next year we`re opening a fantastic steakhouse in Vegas and a beautiful place in Borough Market in London.
