Overview: Renowned chef Heston Blumenthal returns to create the ultimate Christmas Feast, inspired by the most incredible festive dishes of the past. Heston believes that past Christmas dinners were much more inspired and truly extraordinary compared to today's fare, and there definitely won't be any dry turkey, mushy sprouts or rock hard Christmas pudding on the table. Instead, Heston creates a delicious and spectacular menu with every bite a surprise to the senses. Heston's Christmas Feast includes a lavish appetizer loved by King Charles II and made from the world's most unusual ingredient - whale vomit; the Roman Emperors' favourite snack, edible dormouse; a venison dish fit for a medieval king; and an entirely edible Christmas scene complete with flavoured snow. The feast is served to celebrity diners including actor Charlie Higson, broadcaster Mariella Frostrup, comedienne Arabella Weir, former rugby player Matt Dawson, actor James Purefoy, and journalist Kate Spicer.
