But he is entirely self-taught, and the story of his restaurant has broken every rule in the book. His success has been borne out of his pure obsession, endless invention and a childish curiosity into \u003ci\u003ehow things work\u003c\/i\u003e - whether it's how smell affects taste, what different flavours mean to\u003cbr\u003eus on a biological level, or how temperature is distributed in the centre of a souffle. \u003cbr\u003eIn the first section of \u003ci\u003eThe Fat Duck Cookbook\u003c\/i\u003e, we learn the history of the restaurant, from its humble beginnings to\u003cbr\u003eits third Michelin star (the day Heston received the news of this he had been wondering how exactly he would be able to pay his staff that month). Next we meet 50 of his signature recipes - sardine on toast sorbet, salmon poached with liquorice, hot and iced tea, chocolate wine - which, while challenging for anyone not equipped with ice baths, dehydrators, vacuum pumps and nitrogen on tap, will inspire home cooks and chefs alike. Finally, we hear from the experts whose scientific know-how has contributed to Heston's topsy-turvy world. \u003cbr\u003eWith an introduction by Harold McGee, incredible colour photographs throughout and illustrations by Dave McKean,\u003ci\u003e The Fat Duck Cookbook\u003c\/i\u003e is not only the nearest thing to an autobiography from the world's most fascinating chef, but also a stunning, colourful and joyous work of art.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46795735793822,"sku":"UBD-9780747597377","price":74.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780747597377.jpg?v=1778026415","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780747597377","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
