Without doubt the most mental cookery programme you'll ever see, unless you're in the habit of necking six LSD tabs on a weekend morning and staring at Saturday Kitchen until James Martin's face turns into a singing horseshoe in space.[/quote]

Here's the rest.

Plus his earlier review of Heston Blumenthal: In Search of Perfection, which he thinks would have been better named Mr Impossible's Smartarse Kitchen.

    I like "He's the culinary equivalent of Wilf Lunn" ?

    I'm looking forward to this - the Perfection series was OK but all a bit silly because you're never going to do that kind of thing at home. Plus I believe they originally aimed to have more of the science in it but chickened out in the edit which meant it was all a bit unsure of itself. Far better to have a series where he does stuff that's not even supposed to be done at home and celebrate that madness.

    I love the review of Perfection: The end result looks suspiciously like a Burger King Whopper, albeit at 50 times the cost. It probably tastes 50 times better too, but I'd be astonished if a single viewer follows the recipe to the letter. Building your own nuclear warhead would be simpler, and once you'd made it you could terrorise millions into cooking you as many burgers as you wanted, home-made cheese slices and all. ???

    JK and I celebrated my 40th birthday at the Fat Duck.

    She refused point blank to eat the bacon and egg ice cream, which was excellent news for me as it was mindblowingly delicious and the single helping was nowhere near enough! ?

    Looks like Heston has more on his plate than Charlie Brooker today

    "It's like a special edition of Come Dine With Me hosted by the unhinged artisan murderer from the movie Se7en." ?
