The somewhat whimsical energy of Blumenthal’s approach is reinforced by illustrations by Dave McKean, who also illustrated the original The Fat Duck Cookbook with similarly madcap work. Famously in rivalry with other celebrity chefs like Gordon Ramsay, Blumenthal is consistently ranked one of the best innovators of the cooking world for his fantastical creations. Heston Blumenthal shares more of his life philosophy, in which the mechanics of cooking are only one part of a larger, fulfilling experience .

His sorta-cookbook stirs up inspiration and helps us think about flavor-and the experience of eating-differently. He goes on to explain how quantum mechanics (a branch of physics) made him realise that dual possibilities exist and they are part of how we experience the world: we’re constantly changing between different perspectives.Kids might possibly love it, but be warned, Heston’s idea of a ‘simple recipe’ is not the same as mine. Heston has won a number of awards for his restaurants, tv shows, and books, and in 2006 he was awarded an OBE for his contributions to British gastronomy. In this beautiful, smaller format edition of the bestselling Big Fat Duck Cookbook, we hear the full story of the meteoric rise of Heston Blumenthal and The Fat Duck, birthplace of snail porridge and bacon-and-egg ice cream, and encounter the passion, perfection and weird science behind the man and the restaurant. It took me a minute to get used to the notes for the recipes not being on the same page in the e-book, but they are very interesting notes.

Gradually, the restaurant eventually moved from serving simple French bistro food to the innovative, rule-breaking, multi-sensory tasting menu it serves today.As these alternate pictorial pages are subtly decorated, many with a soft colour background, it is a refreshing change from the glossy brightness of many recipe books, as it feels homely. With the original molecular gastronomist, nothing is ever straightforward, and his latest cookbook is no exception. Chef Heston Blumenthal has been described as a culinary alchemist for his innovative style of cuisine.

Cookbook readers will enjoy how the narrative seems plucked from Blumenthal's mind with little thoughts and tips deposited between recipes in illustrations.
