How to Cook Like Heston

Episode 2 (eggs) airs at 6pm on SBS ONE

Heston on eggs: "The secret to a great boiled egg is in fact don't boil it. Low and slow is the best. For the perfect boiled egg, put an egg in a pan of cold water, place it on the highest heat, and the moment the water starts boiling, take it off the heat and leave it for 6 minutes in the hot water with the lid on. You've got to think about residual heat. There's a lot of cooking that happens away from the heat source."

No Kitchen Required

Episode 2 (New Zealand) airs at 6.40pm on SBS 2

Three world-class chefs leave the comfort of their kitchen and step out into the wild. Their quest: travel the world, explore native cultures, and put their own unique spin on traditional cuisines. They’ll battle the elements and each other as they hunt for their own ingredients while cooking in primitive conditions, all in the hope of being chosen as the winner by their tribal hosts. 

Kayne Raymond (pictured) on hunting his first wild pig: "I just don’t want to get stuck with a tusk. It’s the only thing I’m worried about."
