Is This A Cookbook?: Adventures in the Kitchen

Product Information

But since Heston is so famous for being Heston, I doubt if anybody really expects it to be a cookbook, hence its title.

I've only read through it once so far so will give it a more thorough read - I like the idea of Rice Krispies ice cream so that's one I'll definitely try. With an introduction by Harold McGee, incredible colour photographs throughout and illustrations by Dave McKean, The Fat Duck Cookbook is not only the nearest thing to an autobiography from the world's most fascinating chef, but also a stunning, colourful and joyous work of art.

Kids might possibly love it, but be warned, Heston’s idea of a ‘simple recipe’ is not the same as mine.

But, perhaps bowing to public pressure, he has finally released a cookbook that fits in the realm of those less experienced home chefs. A friend of mine hates them for much the same reason: rubber reminds her of the anaesthetic mask at the dentist.

Our ability to respond to cooking in an imaginative way — noticing things, finding connections, responding emotionally, taking everything in and turning it into experiences, consciousness and our own personalised version of reality. This element creates a fun and approachable vibe around cooking, versus the strict and stressful nature of some recipe collections. The ingredients are mostly easily obtained (translating from UK English to USA English is however necessary and being comfortable with metric measures is crucial).

Dishes are distinctly UK-inspired and can be whimsical and comforting to the right reader, such as ham and pea soup in a sandwich.

McKean's detailed, spiky, frenetic art matches Heston's thought processes and adds so much richness and humour to this book. Heston admits this book isn't the perfection/precision aspect of his cooking which is probably what I was after.
