Overview
After years of passionately seeking culinary perfection, Heston Blumenthal demonstrates not just how to cook, but why certain things do or don’t work, as he dispels some of the myths inherited from our mother’s kitchen.
Britain’s most visionary chef delivers meticulously tested tips and techniques to help viewers transform their dinners from bog standard to reliably brilliant without even breaking a sweat.
Each episode concentrates on one everyday ingredient - eggs, chicken, beef, chocolate, cheese and spuds - and features recipes for big favourites such as roast chicken, the perfect steak, and how to pull off the ultimate chocolate cake.
The series is packed with straightforward advice, while special cameras show what actually happens to food as it hits the pan or roasts in the oven.

Loved the show, still watching Hestons Feast! Hope to win the DVD!
Wow!!! These techniques ACTUALLY work. When I made Heston's Mash Potato I had to stop my husband from licking the saucepan! Heston is very down to earth & very easy to follow. I had always wondered about the different techniques for cooking steak as I have had many failures over the years. Steak doesn't scare me anymore. This series is SO much better than Masterchef! Thanks SBS!
According to Heston's site at Channel 4, who produce this show, "Heston Blumenthal at Home" is the book to get for this show. I also have a young son with autism spectrum disorder who is absolutely fascinated by Heston on the screen and what he cooks. A step up from Top Gear!
Brilliant also, I've used a pressure cooker for years, I think they beat Microwaves hands down. Cant wait to try a few more methods. Great to have someone as unique as Heston imparting his secrets.
Learned so much in first 5 minutes - I want the book
Hi Vanessa, this is a new program, so there's not a book directly connected to this series at the moment. You might like to search for: 'Heston Blumenthal at Home' on this shop, which includes some similar ideas to what's in this show: http://www.sbs.com.au/shop/product/category/Books/8295/Heston-Blumenthal-At-Home
Which of Heston's books related to this progam?
Hi Graham, please check out the competition and tour details, the link is above under "Special Features". The competition closes Monday 16th April 2012 (midnight AEST), so after that time the link and details will be removed.
So far the programme has my full attention and seeing that I simply cannot write as fast as the ideas pop up I just must get the dvd to watch it over & over again. The simple method of boiling and egg made such a difference to the flavour.
The just finished "egg" based cooking show. The best cooking show yet! Congratulations, but I need to find out how to involve my wife in the visit he is to undertake in AUS soon.
