Bizarre - but it hits the spot - Rated
In all honesty, I bought this book because (pretentiously)I thought it would look great on our kitchen shelf. However it's great. The history, and background to well known foods is fascinating as is Heston's take on how to construct them. Don't be under any illusion though, it's much more a 'reader' (or browser) than a 'proper' cook book as much of what Heston suggests to obtain perfection is totally impractical for most of us. It's still tremendous fun though!
Stunning - Rated
The book is absolutely fascinating, with the history and background to the recipes. A must for any cook that wants to delve deeper into the science of cookery
He's back, as inventive as ever - Rated
There's a point when every TV chef is at the pinnacle of his (or HER, Nigella) career. Has Heston Blumenthal any further to go? Only time will tell, but right now he's having a ball.
He may not be as well-known as Gordon Ramsay, but his restaurant, The Fat Duck, is always voted better than Ramsay's, which must get Gordon's goat, knowing how competitive he is. There is a difference between the two: Gordon does good food tremendously well, but there's a sense of tradition, of conservative, solid predictability about him. Heston is on another planet. If perfection meant using a NASA lunar module and the Crown Jewels in the Tower, he would gladly employ them. The chances are that you can't get hold of the equipment he can, but there is still lots here that can be adapted.
I love his fascination with every aspect of food: not just taste, smell and texture but even what you call it and how it sounds when you eat it (see the fish pie recipe for the latter).
The formula is the same - old favourites cooked in extraordinary ways. But what a formula! What a chef!
