Heston designs a feast inspired by Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
There is really nothing I can usefully say about Heston’s Feasts – if you watched it (as almost all of my corner of the twitterverse did last night), you would understand this. If you didn’t, make sure you tune in for the remainder of the series. It really is the most amazing television.
It is by no means a show aimed at giving the home cook ideas on spicing up weeknight dinners, in fact Heston even jokes “don’t try this at home” at one point. You wouldn’t, unless of course you have a kitchen centrifuge and some willing firefighters. It is, however, inspirational in the way that watching anybody who is creative, driven and completely passionate – I know that word has been devalued by overuse, but it is spot-on for Heston – is inspirational. Not Imma-quit-my-job-and-become-a-chef, but a recognition that enthusiasm and knowledge and curiosity are immensely appealing.
Seriously, watch. This. Show.
Heston’s Feasts is on SBS, Wednesdays at 8.30pm. Next week he is taking on fairy tales.
But you DID say something useful, you told us all to watch it!
Ha! Thanks, Jo.
