DVDs and BluRay
"Heston Blumenthal is the chef and owner of The Fat Duck, a three-Michelin-starred restaurant in the village of Bray in Berkshire (one of only 3 restaurants in the United Kingdom and Ireland to achieve such an honour) and voted Best Restaurant in the UK by the Good Food Guide 2007 and 2009. The future of cooking, Heston tells us, lies in the secret recipes of the past. Heston becomes a gastronomic timelord as he travels back in time to culinary worlds that have gone untasted for centuries to find out if the future of food lies in the gastronomy of our past. He is on a mission to recreate famous period dishes for the ultimate contemporary banquets. Heston's mission is to surprise jaded 21st century palates by scientifically reconstructing an inventive back-to-the-future banquet consisting of forgotten flavours, textures and taste sensations. In each episode, Heston explores a period of extraordinary gastronomic innovation; recreating 'lost' recipes, discovering forgotten flavours and ingredients and travelling to remote areas to source unusual foods" --Container.
