About

Culinary wizard Heston Blumenthal dispels old myths to revolutionise the way we cook.

Taking one ingredient at a time – beef, eggs, chocolate, chicken, cheese and potato – Heston will share his carefully researched tips and techniques to build a compendium of food know-how. Each episode will feature three recipes based on the featured ingredient, an excuse to bring out a few power tools, plus tonnes of take-out tips, such as how to make the ultimate chocolate cake, why you should never boil an egg, and where you should store your dry ice.

In the Heston Blumenthal way, of course, there will also be a light touch of science with special cameras and technology that shows what actually happens to food as it hits the pan or roasts in the oven.
