Sadly I wasn't able to make it to the Heston Blumenthal talk in Sydney last week-call it extreme tiredness and jetlag! But everyone's favourite Mad Hatter of a chef really needs no introduction. He is the chef and owner of The Fat Duck, a three-Michelin-starred restaurant in Berkshire, England awarded Best UK Restaurant award in the Good Food Guide in both 2007 and 2009. And he 's also quite mad and extraordinarily creative-in the best way of course!
I'm a person that loves history and and during this series he uses fairytales and bits of history and melds them together. To be a guest at one of these dinners is an item on my bucket list. In the two season box set each episode sees Heston explore a different period of innovation as he recreates lost recipes and rediscovers forgotten flavours and ingredients. There is the Willy Wonka feast, a fairytale feast as well as gothic inspired feasts drawing on iconic works of horror such as Frankenstein, Dracula and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
Thanks to Acorn Media, five lucky Not Quite Nigella readers will win a box set with Seasons 1 and 2 of Heston's Feast worth $59.99 each! For a chance to win this all you have to do is tell me about an item on your bucket list! Simply add your answer as a comment to the story. The competition ends at midnight AEST 23rd of April, 2011.
