Heston's Feast - Channel 4

Heston is a genius and he is able to express this in full in this great TV programme. I had seen previous Heston Blumenthal on other TV programs so i was prepared to see something a little different but this show is something else. If you are looking for a cooking show that provides practical guides for you to follow then this show is not for you. As Heston explains, it is about pushing cooking and the dining experience to its limits. Heston creates incredible pieces of art aswell as food.

You have simply got to love this programme, if you like, food, science or somebody who looks like their having a hell of a lot of fun doing their job. I like Heston Blumenthal, he's the owner and chef of the Fat Duck in Bray, this is considered the second best restaurant on the planet and he's renowned for his strange and sublime tasting menu which includes some incredibly odd meals.

This innovative series was the brainchild of part chef, part mad scientist (all food enthusiast) Heston Blumenthal. Head chef at one of the world's top restaurant's, The Fat Duck, Blumenthal has made a name for himself in ambitious and experimental cookery.

The series was in four parts with each episode covering a different historical period. VICTORIAN ...  Read the complete review

This programme was shown in march on Channel 4. It was presented by one of the latest "celebrity" chefs - Heston Blumenthal. He looked back into history and ctried to recreate 4 feasts. These were a victorain Feast, a tudor feast, a medieval feast and finally a roman feast. I found that this series actually peaked after the first episode. the victorian feast was by far the most interesting of all the series and unfortunately I ended up comparing every episode to the first one. The programme wasn't all about cooking it really was more of an entertainment show where the selected celebs were invited to the feast and we could see the look on ...  Read the complete review
