great video thank you. Would love to see Heston do some things here in the States.

[@BigSpud]

I don't think he has any plans to. He loves Australia, France and South Africa.

I'm an avid cookbook collector, so I really enjoyed this video! Historic Heston sounds right up my alley. I'll add that one to my list of books to buy!

[@BigSpud]

Historic Heston is a great read, and COMPLETELY up your alley! Shop around for a used copy bargain.

I remember your blog from back in the day, as well as the crazy Dutch guy who did thebigfatundertaking. I also had a blog at the time and was mad enough to do Anjou Pigeon with Pickling Spices (I simplified the recipe and was still in the kitchen for two days solid). I did a host of other dishes from the book and the results genuinely blew me away.
Sound of the Sea was an absolute fail when I tried it and having had it at The Fat Duck I don't think I missed out on too much. It's been a great trip down memory lane watching this video - i'm doing the Flaming Sorbet for Halloween on Tuesday as well.

Hey there! Nice to see an old face. I'm still deeply envious of Aldo's BigFatUndertaking, it's Herculean! I've been inspired by his blog many times.
I hope you've seen my Sound of the Sea video? czcams.com/video/Mtx8CqK_PZc/video.htmlsi=BS3Myetio_O4R8FU
Good luck with the Flaming Sorbet! Post it on your insta.

Good stuff, thanks. I was pretty confident that Heston at Home would be at the top of your list! It’s a great book, one that I’ve learned a lot from. I don’t have all of his books but my sequence is the same as yours.

It's very subjective but I think it's the best mix of recipes and cooking theory.
