Ein Buch, voll mit Heston Blumenthals köstlichen und aussergewöhnlichen Rezepten, darunter grüner Gazpacho, Tomaten-Kaffee-Muffins, Pastinaken-Knuspermüsli, Ratatouille, (R)eiscreme, Grillenketchup, Kombucha mit Orange und Thymian und nicht zu vergessen: dreifach gegarte Pommes. Alle Rezepte sind einfach, unkompliziert und gut umsetzbar – dies ist der Spitzenkoch in seiner zugänglichsten Form. Aber es gibt noch viel mehr zu entdecken: Die 70 Rezepte werden begleitet von Gedanken, Geschichten, Tipps und Tricks des berühmten Drei-Sterne-Kochs und umspielt von Dave McKeans kunstvollen Illustrationen. So wird die Essenszubereitung zu einem Erlebnis für alle Sinne. Ist das nun ein Kochbuch oder einfach ein Augenschmaus? Oder doch eher ein Anstoss, über Essen nachzudenken? Alles eine Frage der Perspektive. Sicherlich ist es aber ein Kochbuch, wie es noch keines gibt.
