Hestons Feast

Heston Blumenthal owns one of the world's finest restaurants. He's famous for his unique approach to food and his experimental style of cooking which has set him poles apart from other chefs.

In this exhilarating series, Blumenthal reinvents gastronomy. Searching through age-old recipes, the "culinary alchemist" challenges himself to recreate them as the food of the future. For each unforgettable feast he invites six celebrities to dinner, but they soon discover these are no ordinary dinner parties.

Stimulating and provoking all the senses, Blumenthal pushes the boundaries and takes dining to a whole new level, creating extreme food adventures, true "dinner magic".

Blumenthal goes to extraordinary lengths to recreate the Mad Hatter's Tea Party from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland; bakes four and twenty blackbirds inside a pie; combines a variety of animals to create a mythical beast that's part lamb, part goose, part hog and part chicken; stimulates his guests with ejaculating cakes; and fashions an entirely edible scene based on the Christmas carol Good King Wenceslas.

IN HESTON BLUMENTHAL'S OWN WORDS, PLEASE DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!
