i love cockery

[jonnycoyle]

think he messes about too much with dry ice and liquid nitrogen. you just want to eat something tasty not something weird the size of one spoonful. crap demos here

[MushroomMai]

The audience dont seem interested enough, or the guests. Heston's really clever, it's a shame he didn't get the attention he deserved here. Or atleast, I dont think he did!

[mimoh20]

bit fat dick cookbook !

[retroremo]

the book is now 30 punds at waterstones, its a different format. The only difference however is that the copies last year were limited therefore the reason for the substabtial price.

[stevevaiisgod]

No, the differences are that the fat duck cook book has like 1/3 the recipies and "science" of the food compared to the BIG fat duck cookbook

[retroremo]

so why do the both have the some number of pages hmm

[holland2312]

theyre both 532 pages. the big one is bigger, literally, dimension wise, and has the nice cover, better quality paper and printing etc. but tbh, on amazon the smaller 1 is £19, the other £105 - having seen them both, the smaller one is DEFINATELY more worthwhile buying - the quality is still extremely good with amazing detail in the photography, and its still a big book!

heston rules

[pgtipschimp1]

i am going to meet heston blumenthhal today at Selfridges in London at 5-6pm but am going now as have to Que. early and i say him on paul o'grady when it was on the tv

[thedr00]

Who's the skirt?

[roachmobile]

The damn book is $150. But well worth it.

[cayuc0]

"Oh God! Oh wow! Gorgeous! Beautiful!"... aghhh what an overhyped idiot...

[MariaMinx07]

i love the stuff he does but it turns me sick somtimes what he cooks lol

[aarondkeogh]

it really pleases me to see this guy enjoying what he does

[pablogonzalez35]

maybe your a fucking bastard who thinks food is just what you eat.. food is a way o living life and looking how to enjoy it full.. the diference between you and heston is that you have a little brain

[bigjimmyv]

haha love it... go on my son!

[thegreatbasher]

So true!

[theWalletRat]

@pablogonzalez35 no it's not. It's entertainment sometimes in form of art. But it is not important, and the world could easily live without it. However, that doesn't mean that it's not beautiful, because it is :)

[shadowhunter22x]

face it, hes a success, your not...

[daoeba]

stand on 1 leg! lol

[drplbiftin]

heston rocks!

[flappospammo]

so they have snail porridge , egg and bacon ice cream and sound of the sea in any asian restaurant ?

you dopey lying twat

a 3 star chef worked for you ? so how many stars have you got - 33 ??

[christhekiwi12]

lol, you can only get 4 stars and no more than that.

[87blondie87]

no... you can only get 3!

[christhekiwi12]

lol do some research moron

[87blondie87]

afraid your wrong, michelin only offer between 1 and 3 stars! ranging from worth a stop off if your passing near by to worth a de-tour for 3 stars! so no need for the moron banter!

[christhekiwi12]

Yes, I know. Ive eaten in Plenty.

[mleeoliver]

twat

[audiophil92]

nope your the moron. 3 is the maximum

[christhekiwi12]

nope, one restaurant was awarded 4 stars to which they changed soon after.

[stevevaiisgod]

Depends if ure talking about michelin stars or the AA equivelen - the guy might have meant rosetts

[rewirewi]

It certainly is not amazing!, i worked at fat duck 10years ago and its the same gimmiks, these cheap tricks can be found in any asian restaurant. The problem with this type of show pony cooking is that it takes away from the true essence of gastronomy. I had a 3 star chef work for me recently as my sous chef and i would say his ability to garnish food would be 10/10 but his true understanding of the balance of flavours would be 3. Lets get rid of the b/s and learn what savory jam really means!

[chefluke81]

where is the asian restaurant you are talking about chef?

[thirdflooruk]

Jealousy. Why don't you get your own TV show and cookbook then if you're far better than him? Weird how you say that isn't it?

[christhekiwi12]

You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. I have eaten in many 1, 2 and 3 michelin star restaurants and ive not found a single one that didnt show true understanding of flavours and balance. Your either jealous or an idiot. Or both

[p3rs0nan0ngrata]

The Duck hasn't even been open for 10 years.

[hardgayramen4ever]

guy is a genius, he's like an experimental scientist and chef rolled into one.

[MissClaireLouiseYate]

hes amazing :)

[Libby56]

Heston is full of exciting ideas. i love heston and dinning in his restaurant

[zohar5150]

ITS LIKE AUSTIN POWERS LOL

[LadyChara]

Exactly. Not a very entusiastic crowd. Heston is quite the genius though. I will someday visit his restaurant.

[p3rs0nan0ngrata]

Maybe they were all stoned and thought the disco had made a comeback

"Smoke's going: next song's up! WOOOHH!"

Fuck sake.

[p3rs0nan0ngrata]

A sorbet that is on fire and does not melt meets silence.

A bowl of dry ice that creates a fog meets a round of applause.

:o\

[thegreatbasher]

They were in awe of it dumbass. He is a magician with food. Noting else like it in my opinion.

[p3rs0nan0ngrata]

I know, you cock.

It was a joke

[rewirewi]

is that right, well i worked there with him in 97 u fukin retard

[p3rs0nan0ngrata]

I'd hardly count those early years as being indicative of what the Fat Duck now produces. The nineties don't count because, at that time, Heston was trying to light blowtorches under the hot tap and working with exploding ovens.

Sorry, mate, but you left before he started doing the good stuff. More fool you.
