Gordon Ramsay admits love for vegan food

Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay publicly shifted his stance on vegan cuisine in 2022, stating during an episode of MasterChef that “After all these years, I can finally admit, that I actually love vegan food.” The remark contrasted with his earlier television persona, which often included jokes about veganism. Ramsay attributed the change to influence from his children and increasing creative demand within the restaurant industry for plant based dishes. The statement marked a visible change in tone across his television appearances and restaurant menus throughout late 2022 and into 2023. In late 2022, Ramsay’s restaurants began expanding plant based menu options. Gordon Ramsay Burger locations introduced a dedicated Vegan Burger featuring a plant based patty with avocado and eggless garlic mayonnaise. At Lucky Cat in London, plant based dishes such as vegetable maki, tom kha noodles, and miso glazed gochujang aubergine were highlighted among regular offerings. These additions were part of broader menu diversification across the Gordon Ramsay Restaurants group, which increasingly included vegetarian and vegan selections alongside traditional meat focused dishes. In January 2023, Ramsay partnered with Flora Plant Butter as part of the “Skip the Cow” campaign, promoting dairy free alternatives in both professional and home cooking. He described the product as suitable for achieving creaminess in plant based recipes. Later in 2023, Ramsay also became a brand ambassador for Borealis Foods, supporting its Chef Woo Ramen line of plant based noodles. The partnership emphasized affordable plant based meals and referenced efforts to address food accessibility and food insecurity through shelf stable vegan products. These developments between 2022 and 2023 reflected a broader adjustment in Ramsay’s public messaging and business collaborations, with plant based dishes becoming more visible across his media appearances, partnerships, and restaurant menus.
