<p>British adultery entrepreneur Sarah Symonds is back in the headlines as the alleged seven-year mistress of potty-mouthed TV chef Gordon Ramsay. The 38-year-old parlayed her 2001 affair with jailbird Tory politician/novelist Jeffrey Archer into Having An Affair? A Handbook For The Other Wo­man, which landed her on Oprah and as a “relationship expert” for AshleyMadison.com, a dating website for people looking for affairs. The 42-year-old Ramsay, a father of four famed for his familial devotion, refuses to comment and on the weekend he posed for press photographers next to his wife of 12 years, cookbook author Tana Ramsay. Symonds, who reportedly purchased potato chips and the sex drug amyl nitrate to fuel one luxury-hotel romp with Ramsay, is much less culinarily inclined, writing that “extra special sexual techniques in the bedroom” can compensate for bad cook­­ery: “He will soon forget the absence of that bouquet garni in your coq au vin. Trust me!”</p>
