Episode 9 (Northumberland and Manchester) airs at 8pm on SBS ONE

Luke shares his secret to sweet stickiness: "First of all i'm going to make a really simple caramelisation, so just some white sugar is fine, into a hot pan, and just a couple tablespoons of water. Just wait until that caramelises, get a beautiful golden colour. It's going to be a little bit sweet because I'm going to braise it with young coconut juice."

In Search of Perfection - series 2

Episode 9 (Perfect Christmas dinner) airs at 6pm on SBS ONE

Heston on making the most of a festive bird: "The idea is to use every part of the goose in the meal. Nothing will go to waste. The legs i take off to cook in a traditional way, then the skin is removed, which I roast separately to get an amazing crispness, then the breasts. I'll vacuum pack them in goose fat and cook them in a 56ºC water bath which maintains all the moisture and flavour in the meat. "
