British gastronomy has a grand old tradition that has been lost over time. Heston Blumenthal, whose name is synonymous with cutting-edge cuisine, nonetheless finds his greatest source of inspiration in the unique and delicious food that the sceptered isle once produced. This has been the secret to his success at world-famous restaurants The Fat Duck and Dinner, where a contrast between old and new, modern and historic, is key.
This glorious tome also gives a unique insight into the way that Heston works, with signature dishes from both The Fat Duck and Dinner. Illustrated by Dave McKean and with some of the most superb food photography you'll ever see, Historic Heston is a book to treasure.
A lavish, beautiful volume, presented in a cloth-bound crimson slipcase . . . There has never been a book like this. . . I could happily spend several days with this book and not even enter the kitchen. "Jeffrey Steingarten, Vogue"
It's nearly impossible to sum up the awesomeness of this exquisitely packaged amalgamation of photographic still lifes, illustrations, and historic recipes. "DailyCandy"
