Gordon buys some pigs to rear in his garden, and is joined in the kitchen by Kathy Burke. Plus, a new regular feature sees amateur cooks getting the chance to cook in his restaurant for paying customers. Gordon also organises a book amnesty, giving viewers the chance to send in celebrity recipe books they've never used - so they can be safely destroyed.

The fiery chef prepares sesame crusted tuna, pan-fried sea bass with sorrel sauce and apple doughnuts, and teaches Jeremy Clarkson how to cook lobster. Janet Street-Porter throws down the gauntlet in the recipe challenge and Cliff Richard is invited to deliver his verdict on several wines - including, unbeknownst to him, one of his own.

An all-female amateur brigade prepares scrambled egg with wild mushrooms, black bream with peas bonne femme and pink champagne sabayon with citrus fruit. Darren Gough goes head to head with Gordon in the recipe challenge, and Janet Street-Porter finds a new low-fat superfood with four legs, while Jeremy Clarkson gets down to the task of cooking Sunday lunch for his wife and children.

Gordon takes on four Eton boys as his team this week. Dawn French guest stars in the restaurant and helps him launch Find Me a Fanny, his search for a new female television cook. Gordon selects some sheep to keep in the garden of his London apartment. On the menu: crab spring rolls with chilli dipping sauce, loin of venison with sweet and sour peppers, and profiteroles with hot chocolate sauce.

Four firemen serve as this week's brigade, and Ronnie Corbett takes on Gordon in the recipe challenge. Janet Street Porter offers a "provocative" meat. Girls Aloud visit. On the menu: pan-roasted fois gras with rhubarb, butter-roasted ribeye of beef with grilled artichokes, and summer berry soup with floating islands.

Gordon takes on four Lancashire Lasses as his team this week. In the recipe challenge he takes on James May and challenges him to an eat off. Denise Van Outen eats at the restaurant this week. On the menu: duck egg salad with anchovy fingers; tandoori-spiced halibut with sauteed potatoes; and Scotch pancakes with caramelized bananas.

First celebrity in the kitchen is Coronation Street star Wendi Peters, and she brings along her sister, husband and mother. Geri Helliwell takes up Gordon's recipe challenge. Janet Street-Porter is back, promoting British veal, and Gordon looks into a deep-sea delicacy: sea urchins.

Gordon Ramsay returns for a new series of the fast-paced food magazine show featuring recipes, consumer stories and cooking challenges. Boy band McFly face the music in Gordon's kitchen. Janet Street-Porter champions a new low-fat superfood. Comedian Ben Miller goes up against Gordon in the recipe challenge with his version of a classic Victoria sponge cake.

In this episode, two Italian restaurants go head to head, cooking a menu of ravioli, venison, pork escalope and fig and frangipane tarts. Janet will be expanding on last year's experience raising veal calves to starting her own small holding. And Katie Price gets her hands dirty, cooking chicken kievs in the celebrity challenge.

Gordon's hunt for Britain's Best Local Restaurant takes on an Indian theme as his trio of expert tasters head off in search of the country's best curry house. With 3 million British customers popping out for a curry every year it's clear the nation has taken the dish to its heart. But will the F Word diners prefer traditional charm or a modern twist as Gordon puts two very different Indian restaurants, Curry Corner and Lasan, head to head? While the guests sample the curry cook off Lenny Henry gets emotional over his mum's Jamaican pepper pot soup and Janet gets down and dirty with some wiry-haired pigs. Finally Gordon completes the Indian theme as he heads off hunting halal-style in search of deer for his venison masala.

Gordon's quest for Britain's Best Local Restaurant continues and this time it is a heavyweight battle of French restaurants. The competing kitchens will both serve succulent foie gras to start, then pan-fried grey mullet and puy lentils go up against a rack of lamb with aubergine tempura. Both will finish with a classic French pudding, crepes suzette. To add to the French flavour, Gordon heads back to second home, Paris, in search of the perfect croissant. And farmer-in-waiting, Janet Street-Porter, expands her farm by helping birth some chicks.
