This video shows Gordon Ramsay, Scottish chef extraordinaire preparing a Baked Alaska. He makes it look so easy even I could do it, although I haven’t got a fancy mixer or a blowtorch kicking around the house.
I don’t like Gordon Ramsay. I find him condescending and shouty. He also has this strange epileptic fit-style when preparing a dish, constantly moving and trying to get the cameraman to keep up.
However, he is a brilliant chef, of that there is no doubt. And for someone such as myself who has never eaten Baked Alaska, let alone prepared one, this video hits the spot.
Baked Alaska isn’t exactly a healthy dish – ice cream, sugar, cake, and egg whites – but I guess it is meant as an occasional treat rather than a daily staple of your diet. Either way I’d like to try it, and perhaps even try making it.
