Heston Blumenthal Does Christmas

I kind of always forget about Heston Blumenthal. Even though he’s a molecular gastronomist, he just doesn’t seem to get the same kind of press that the other guys do. And as the perpetual second fiddle to Ferran Adrià (that Nitro Caipirinha looks amazing), at least in terms of world rankings, he just sort of…hangs in limbo. Or maybe it’s just me. Anyway, I caught his Christmas special last night and it was quite interesting. The basic concept is that he mixes molecular gastronomy and Christmas dinner. But the real star is that intro…boy is it catchy. So, if you’ve got an hour to spare, Heston’s definitely worth watching.
