Michelin-starred chef Gordon Ramsay has defended the use of 'boil-in-the-bag' meals in his restaurants, claiming are still 'freshly prepared'.
It has been revealed that customers at four of the celebrity chef's restaurants are likely to be served pre-prepared meals produced by a central supplier. The food arrives in transit vans, is reheated – then sold for up to six times the cost price.
Food critics said this amounted to hypocrisy, as Ramsay has always stressed the importance of freshly cooked ingredients.
He recently told Olive magazine: ‘My food hell is any ready meal. It’s so easy to prepare a quick dish using fresh produce, such as a simple stir-fry, but people still resort to ready meals that all taste exactly the same.’
In another interview he condemned roadside restaurants which employ staff ‘to heat up pre-prepared food’ rather than hiring chefs to make food on site. Source
