British Chef Heston Blumenthal sets out on a gastronomic adventure to
reinvent famous historical and mythical feasts for the ultimate 21st century
banquets. Among the lavish banquets Heston prepares this time are a Willie Wonka
feast inspired by Roald Dahl's famous Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. He
also conjures up a Fairytale Feast inspired by the stories which thrilled and
scared him as a child, including Snow White, Cinderella and Hansel & Gretel.
And Heston goes ghoulish in an eye-popping Gothic Feast that takes inspiration
from iconic works of horror such as Frankenstein, Dracula & Dr Jekyll and
Mr Hyde.
The culmination of each of Hestons culinary quests is a spectacular banquet
laid on for an excited bunch of celebrity diners. Heston Blumenthals restaurant
The Fat Duck, opened in 1995 and was awarded its third Michelin star in January
2004. The Fat Duck is known for its extraordinary menu which goes beyond taste
to embrace sight, sound, smell and touch to deliver unforgettable culinary
creations to diners lucky enough to get a table. In 2010 Restaurant Magazine
once again named The Fat Duck as the Best Restaurant in the World.
