Cookery Course
He has also published a book to accompany the series. I haven't had a chance to read it myself but has high praise in many reviews.

Your personal feelings on Gordon Ramsey notwithstanding, this is an excellent book to get you skilled up in the fundamentals -> http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gordon-Ramsays-Ultimate-Cookery-Course/dp/1444756699
And it's a fiver (at least in the UK/IE)
This is the one I have. But it might be a pain, it's British so you have to make some conversions.
I'm guessing that this is the same book but the American version.
I don't know how you feel about it but what I do is go to my library and take out loads of cookbooks and input the recipes I like into my recipe software. Three cheers for free recipes and if you're like me, not every recipe in a cookbook is a winner so you're not wasting your money.
he has some recipes from different books on his website, but if you want those recipes from the show you can get the book
Gordon Ramsay's Ultimate Cookery Course or
Gordon Ramsay's Home Cooking: Everything You Need to Know to Make Fabulous Food there you can find 120 recipes including the 100 from the show. I'm getting the Ultimate cookery book whenever it comes in the mail.
Pizza is extremely easy to cook at home dude. I've just been buying random cook books over the last year or so. General use ones, a few Italian speciality ones and BBQ ones, because that's what I love :D
> So they don't add any other toppings? Like pepperoni or anything? Isn't the crust done similar to Nyc style pizza?
Not in a Margherita in Italy, no. They're very traditional when it comes to your pizza in Italy. You can get things like Salami or Pepperoni, but they're not like the ones we get here. I've been to Rome three times and I've only found pizzas that have very thin crusts and are pretty crispy with a bit of chew. I have to say, the taste is amazing. It's not just the ingredients though, it's the oven. They use traditional ,wood fired ovens that can burn up to about 500 degrees centigrade. I'm thinking about building one out in my garden :D With pizza, you cook it as hot as you can. A traditional wood fired pizza oven will cook a pizza in about 90 seconds, at most.
> It just seems like they would have some special sauce or does the basil really help it stand out?
There's a specific type of tomatoes that everyone seems to use called San Marzano tomatoes, but you don't have to be that picky. You can use whatever you like. I rarely use anything other than BBQ sauce because I love the taste of it. When I make pizzas at home, some of my family like regular bolognese sauce from a jar and some even like ketchup mixed with a bit of bolognese sauce.
> I'd love to start cooking from scratch but I'm still learning so much in regards to just Regular cooking that I feel like I'd be biting off more than I could chew.
Don't be intimidated by it. Treat it as fun, not a chore. Break your expectations down into smaller chunks. What's your favourite type of cooking? What's a recipe you want to learn how to do first? Baking bread and pizza are a good start, because you can literally just make the pizza dough recipe I posted and cook it as a loaf instead of stretching it out to be a pizza dough.
If you have a bit of money, I found these books great:
Canning stuff would be more about pickling and brining. I've never done it, but I did go so far as to buy fresh jalapenos and some jars because I wanted to. Next port of call haha.
Let me know if you've any other questions. Feel free to message me too if you ever need a hand with anything :D
