Heston Blumenthal
So recently my hands were aching to get burned by the ovens or probably dirty from messy frosting and mm, alot of washing and cleaning of the kitchen, I have since baked a chocolate mousse tart, banana cake, and made some tiramisu. They weren't all too wild woah, but pretty decent and edible. Probably a non taster would have said it's good.... & a super taster would say its ugh-eww or it's okay ...
So anyway I digged out a few books I bought from the mouldy book collection stashed away in my cupboards.
& I found Heston Blumental: In Search of Perfection!
He really looks like a scientist in a kitchen, don't you think?
Some of you may have heard of him if you follow abit of food news or watched Kitchen Chemistry. & some of you may know about The Fat Duck restaurant, a three michelin star restaurant! You may be shocked to find out that in 1995, he bought a 450-year-old pub in Bray. It was small, with an impossibly cramped kitchen, only one door, no view, an outside toilet, it was pretty much all he could afford actually! And his restaurant's kitchen oven exploded on the second day of his restaurant opening. .... But now, today, I remember my lecturer telling me that you have to make at least 2 month's in advance reservations and it takes up to four hours for the tasting menu! And you must be thinking, fine-dining, small portions of food .. yes you are right so far.. BUT there's no dress code for the restaurant at all! Anyway, this is what I found on the internet! Would anyone pretty please buy me the book, The Big Fat Duck Cookbook. I'd love to know the entire restaurant story!
Alright now, I'm gonna dig into the book!
Be back soon.
