This glorious tome gives a unique insight into the way that Heston works, with signature dishes from both the double Michelin-starred Dinner and triple Michelin-starred The Fat Duck. With a clothbound slipcase, luxurious gold foil, patterned edges, and illustrations from the genius that is Dave McKean, this special edition of Historic Heston is a book to treasure.

British gastronomy has a grand old tradition that has been lost over time. Now our most inventive chef is out to reclaim it. Heston Blumenthal, whose name is synonymous with cutting-edge cuisine, still finds his greatest source of inspiration in the unique and delicious food that our 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.

Historic Heston charts a quest for identity through the best of British cooking that stretches from medieval to late-Victorian recipes. Start with twenty-eight historic dishes, take them apart, put them together again and what have you got? A sublime twenty-first-century take on delicacies including meat fruit (1500), quaking pudding (1660) and mock turtle soup (1892). Heston examines the history behind each one's invention and the science that makes it work. Ferreting out such curious sources as The Queen-like Closet from 1672 (which offers an excellent method for drying goose, he puts these dishes in their social context and follows obscure culinary trails. What all this adds up to is a colourful, idiosyncratic culinary history of Britain. You think you know about British cooking? Think again.

Cat's Curiosities
(Pahrump, NV, U.S.A.)

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Artwork by Dave McKean, photography by Romas Foord (illustrator). New hardcover quarto in slipcase still sealed in original shrink-wrap -- new. Heston famously revived and re-invented historic British cuisine at his restaurants Dinner, The Hind's Head, and The Fat Duck. This large quarto weighs 8 lbs. (ships at 3.97 kg.) -- shipping "Priority" or outside the U.S. will cost extra. Specifically, packaged books weighing more than 4 lbs. must now move "Priority" when shipped overseas; it will thus cost us $102 to ship this book (in a nice sturdy box) to Europe or the U.K., of which we must require the purchaser to pay $95. For the shipping. Our price for this new, boxed book now reduced from $175. Seller Inventory # 010794
