Publisher's note

Back by popular demand, a lower-priced version of the must-have book from the genius behind the Fat Duck, the restaurant named best in the world by "Restaurant "magazine.

The cookbook hailed by the "Los Angeles Times "as a "showstopper" and by Jeffrey Steingarten of "Vogue "as "the most glorious spectacle of the season...like no other book I have seen in the past twenty years" is now available in a reduced-price edition. With a reduced trim size but an identical interior, this lavishly illustrated, stunningly designed, and gorgeously photographed masterpiece takes you inside the head of maverick restaurateur Heston Blumenthal. Separated into three sections (History; Recipes; Science), the book chronicles Blumenthal's improbable rise to fame and, for the first time, offers a mouth-watering and eye-popping selection of recipes from his award-winning restaurant. He also explains the science behind his culinary masterpieces, the technology and implements that make his alchemical dishes come to life. Designed by acclaimed artist Dave McKean--and filled with photographs by Dominic Davies--this artfully rendered celebration of one of the world's most innovative and renowned chefs is a foodie's dream.

An accessibly priced edition of a lavishly photographed volume of recipes by the award-winning Fat Duck restaurateur is complemented by historical information and explanations of the scientific principles behind many of his most popular dishes.

Annotation

The Fat Duck must be doing something right: the London restaurant has three Michelin stars and has been named Best Restaurant in the World by a consortium of chefs. This cookbook of Heston Blumenthal's wildly unusual dishes makes it clear why patrons need to make reservations months in advance. Recipes include red cabbage gazpacho with mustard ice cream, salmon poached in licorice, and Blumenthal's famous (notorious?) snail porridge. The recipes are not for sissies, but the book more than lives up to what one critic called it: "a love-letter to eating." Blumenthal also provides his own fascinating autobiography and a chatty history of the restaurant, along with some of the most gorgeous food photography ever.
