Overview: Celebrated chef Heston Blumenthal continues his latest gastronomic adventure reinventing famous period and mythical feasts for the ultimate 21st century banquets. Heston's Gothic Horror Feast offers him the chance to play the mad scientist and create an outlandish banquet based on all his favourite 19th century horror novels; including Bram Stoker's Dracula and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Gothic horror stories were written at a time when food became thrilling, with delicious new recipes and ingredients combining to create a shock and awe gastronomy. Heston's celeb diners, including broadcasters Ulrika Jonsson, Nicholas Parsons and Colin Murray, tuck into a blood risotto starter and an edible Frankenstein monster, polished off with an edible graveyard for dessert and edible breasts inspired by the Marquis de Sade. |
