Heston Blumenthal does indeed, produce some amazing recipes, concoctions etc, but, most of us don't have the kind of finances provided by a couple of 3 star Michelin restraunts and successful TV programmes do we.
dunno about you, but I'd have no idea where to get the liquid nitrogen to try the 30 second ice cream recipe/method..........
Oh, and I understand that the waiting list for a table at one of his restraunts is hideous. And you'd need to take out a mortgage just for the "tasting menu" range of stuff at the Fat Duck.
Don't be a downer Sure you can do some substitutes here and there and make it affordable Recipes are just a guideline, you don't have to follow them to the letter.
As for the liquid nitrogen: do you have a mate that works in a lab or perhaps a chem plant? (I can't seem to find a tongue-in-cheek smiley though.)
