As for the menus they cook week after week, I don't believe them to be Michelin quality menus. I think it was last season, every week, they were making risotto and beef wellington, neither of which is a particularly gourmet menu item, nor would it be that difficult to master.
I used the wrong word...should have put chef there and not cook.

It isn't easy to make a good, consistent risotto...atleast if you do it properly and don't cheat.

I think you underestimate the flavour profiles Ramsey is looking for in his dishes.
