  The book that redefines home cookery for the twenty-first century. Until now, home cooking has remained stubbornly out of touch with technological development but Heston Blumenthal, champion of the scientific kitchen, is set to change all that with his radical new book. With meticulous precision, he explains what the most effective techniques are and why they work. Heston at Home will change the way you think about cooking forever – prepare for a culinary revolution.

  The first part of the book maps out the new techniques in 15 sections:

  1. Taste and flavour
  2. Seasoning and the five tastes
  3. Stocks and infusing
  4. Soups and purees
  5. Brining, curing, marinating, macerating
  6. Meat
  7. Fish
  8. Vegetables
  9. Pasta, grains, pulses
  10. Sauces, emulsions, thickening
  11. Tarts and other doughs and pastries
  12. Chocolate
  13. Ice cream, sorbets, custards
  14. Sous-vide cookery
  15. Taking control of the kitchen

  In the second part, there are 150 specially created recipes. Here at last is the secret to irrefutably perfect fish and chips, as well as a few more unconventional dishes like salmon with liquorice, or lardy cake with whisky ice cream.
