When we received our shopping list and and grocery bag in preparation for FOX’s upcoming “Gordon Ramsay: Cookalong Live” show last week we were pleased to see that the less-than-successful Baked Alaska he walked a couple hundred TV critics through at the summer TV press tour is not on the menu.
On the other hand, how many people are rolling up their sleeves at 9 p.m. ET on a Tuesday night to start cooking a three-course dinner for four? We know Ramsay is Scottish, but the rest of us are not on a European dining schedule.
Still, if you plan to give it a go, here’s what you’re going to need:
