Hi! I’m Jack.

Ever tried a “Gordon Ramsay recipe” online, only to find it packed with weird substitutions and shortcuts he’d call you an idiot sandwich for using?

I have. And I got tired of it.

I’m Jack Barrett. I’m not a trained chef, but I’ve spent countless hours studying Ramsay’s techniques. This site is my obsession turned into your guide. I test, document, and replicate his most iconic recipes as precisely as possible — so you can master them the right way.

No fluff. No shortcuts. If he says sear for 90 seconds, I set a timer. If a dish fails, I show you why — and how to fix it.

This site is for anyone serious about actually cooking like Ramsay.

Here’s the promise:

  • Ramsay’s real methods, tested and adapted for home kitchens
  • Step-by-step instructions with exact timing and technique
  • Honest results and troubleshooting from someone who’s made the mistakes so you don’t have to

What You Won’t Find Here:

  • Random, untested “twists”
  • Watered-down techniques
  • Sugar-coated stories about how “easy” it all is

This is about precision, practice, and progress — grounded in the methods of a master.
If you’re ready to learn, mess up, and get better…

You’re in the right place.

Claire handles anything that rises, rests, or melts. From soufflés to sticky toffee, she tests, tweaks, and explains every sweet step.

Marcus Reed — Meat & Flame Specialist

Grill marks? Butter basting? Crispy skin? Marcus lives for high heat, bold flavor, and clean plating. He makes sure your pan-roasted lamb looks and tastes like it belongs on a Michelin plate.

Nia is the sauce whisperer. From velvety risottos to glossy reductions, she builds the bridges between your mains and your memories.
