thought. Guests Christian and Patricia check in with

car journey from Warrington, they arrive with high

Title: How to Cook like Heston
Description: Heston Blumenthal demonstrates how to perform culinary magic
in domestic kitchens. This week Heston challenges the way we
cook chocolate. He reveals that the secret to success in
cooking this luxury ingredient is a gentle approach. With
this simple rule, Heston lifts the lid on his magical
passionfruit gateau with an exploding base and a flowerpot
tiramisu with edible chocolate soil. He even manages to
transform a sweet favourite into a savoury main course, and
later turns dark chocolate into rich chocolate wine. He also
equips himself with a can of keyboard dust cleaner to
shock-freeze melted chocolate into a pliable chocolate
sculpture, a paint sprayer loaded with dark chocolate to
coat a frozen cake, and a pneumatic drill to explain how
chocolate is made. Heston visits his local village hall to
show the amateur dramatics group the best way to make hot
chocolate, and then invites them round for tea to try his
remarkable tiramisu.
