NAMED A BON APPETIT, THE DAILY HIVE, AND EAT YOUR BOOKS BEST
COOKBOOK OF THE YEAR
A culinary adventure from three-time James Beard Award-winning,
Michelin-starred chef Heston Blumenthal--but is it a cookbook?
Well, it's full of Heston's typically marvelous recipes like pea and ham
soup-in-a-sandwich and bacon and egg porridge, popcorn popcorn chicken
and (r)ice cream. But in Heston's kitchen, to cook is to embark on a
journey of quantum gastronomy: exploring the palate, feeding the inner
child, and plunging headfirst through the plate and into the soul.
Each of the 70 simple, straightforward recipes is accompanied by
Heston's stories, insights, and hacks, turning each cooking session into
a journey--and revealing a whole world of culinary possibilities and
fresh perspectives. Brought to life by the incredible illustrations by
Dave McKean, Heston's long-term collaborator and one of the greatest
illustrators at work today, Is This A Cookbook? is the next best thing
to having Heston as your sous-chef.
Why not take him along as your adventure partner, too?
