While I slide my chair back and forth, head to the small kitchen table from the chunks of tube propped up, Gordon Ramsay at the oversized chrome steel fridge and pulls out eggs. Attaches the tray to the Kitchen and goes through the strubbelige, blonde-gray hair. I’ll get an old, scratched frying pan, while Ramsay turns on the gas stove and to Cut the Butter with a knife hervorkramt, this could also serve well as a Prop in a Hitchcock Thriller.

Ramsay speaks quickly in his British accent, when he explained to me, as I do not need to keep the crime a knife to cut me accidentally in the Finger. I imitate his posture, which is so convenient as logical, and wonder how I could get in the past, depending on the idea to grab a Cutlery differently.

But that was earlier, before me Gordon Ramsay, the infamous stars and TV chefs from England, taught personally cooking.

“Gordon, take a room with the leek!”

Famous because of the Restaurants, the 52-Year-old with a total of 16 Michelin stars have been knighted, and he Kitchen in cooking shows like “Hell’s”, “boss without grace”, and “Masterchef USA” or “The F-Word” for three decades, keeps the television audience. Notorious, because the F in “F-Word” stands for “food,” Ramsay but on the other F-word, “fuck”,.

So, too, in my kitchen, for example, when he speaks of the “fucking” best vegetables. Or the worst: celery. “But this can be a sophisticated, intense taste, it is a dream!” Yeah, Ramsay can also Gordon is the opposite of Cursing and drooling vegetables in part, to such an extent that you would like to call him: “you grab a room with the leek!”

surely you have wondered for a long time, like me – a freelance journalist – me private cooking lessons at one of the most renowned celebrity chefs of the present day can afford. Well, in Switzerland we speak, as we know, is not about money, but I want to make at this point, with the exception of The private classes with the greatest entertainment potential costs me a hundred Swiss francs, i.e. less than a Multi-course with wine in a five-star locally. The Whole, you can’t imagine, a tiny hook: Gordon Ramsay is personally in my old kitchen, but teaches me from his ultra-modern private kitchen – over the Internet.

the “Masterclass”. The American learning platform went online in 2014 and offers subscribers a variety of courses, which are held by the Best in their field. The photos with the artist is Annie Leibovitz, as well as acting classes at Helen Mirren, tennis lessons with Serena Williams, wine courses with the critic, James Suckling, or cooking with Gordon Ramsay. In about two dozen lessons, the duration of which varies between ten and thirty minutes, is built on principles, tasks, and a Forum is available to the worldwide participants to the exchange.

The hope, even the bacon tastes

As with any remote program calls for your own initiative, so that the “Masterclass” is not only used in a passive way. In the 20-lessons-lessons from Ramsay, this means that The Laptop or Tablet on the Kitchen counter, and position itself to the spoon, because immediately implemented remains most of the newly Learned. How a poached Egg is a perfect time (and Yes, it works, life-changing!), how homemade pasta dough for tear sample (admittedly, I buy it and have a ready-made noodles in the supermarket, shame on me . . .) or how to prepare a feast à la Beef Wellington. Fondue chinoise on Christmas in 2019, you have no Chance!

And really, my initial modest cooking skills from lesson to lesson, which is mainly due to the accessible and highly motivating type of Ramsay’s. So he prepares a mushroom-bacon-Toast so passionate, that I everything and leave, to the nearest business pike to get me the ingredients and twenty minutes later in front of a mushroom-bacon-Toast on the small table in the old kitchen of the seats, while I, master Gordon Ramsay zugrinst through the screen out of his precious kitchen. I don’t like not bacon.
