I like Heston Blumenthal. I really do. He seems very nice on the telly, and his food looks amaaayzing. So I thought, 'I know! I'll buy one of his cookbooks - maybe I can learn to make disgusting sounding but extremely tasty food. Maybe I'll even learn how to to that crazy dry ice aroma thingie and look dead clever infront of everyone...'
So off I trot to Amazon for a gander. Where, to my dismay, I find that Heston's latest cook book is currently retailing at £215. Yes Two Hundred and Fifteen Quid!
Even more distressing is that fact that it looks so beautiful I want to stroke it. It comes in it's own folder, has silver embossed pages, and little manga cartoons of Heston and his alter ego - Little Heston.
Aw man! I sooo want it. But if I decide to be rash and purchase, it means that while I'll be able to drool over the gastro porn pics and crazy recipes, I won't be able to afford actual real food for two to three weeks (depending where I shop) . At all.
So... The point is - if anyone reading this buys it - maybe you can email me some photographs or something. And then perhaps you can ring me up and read me the recipes over the phone.
Go on - it's on the Amazon widget to your left! :)
