Feast with Heston Blumenthal
Channel 4 (5 x 49’)
In this series Heston Blumenthal becomes a gastronomic timelord as he turns off his blowtorch, puts on his chef whites and travels back in time to culinary worlds that have gone untasted for centuries to find out if the future of food lies in the gastronomy of our past.
Heston’s mission is to suprise jaded 21st century palettes by scientifically reconstructing an inventive back-to-the-future banquet consisting of forgotten flavours, textures and taste sensations. By the end of each week’s programme, he recreates a spectacular mouthwatering historical feast complete with all the sumptuous, orgiastic, excessive mayhem our ancestors took for granted.
