This enthralling evening will focus on Heston’s unique philosophy and approach to cooking, exploring taste and flavour, and his passion for the multi-sensory experience of eating and drinking.

With special guests, the chef of the three Michelin starred Fat Duck Restaurant in the UK and star of Heston’s Feasts and the Mission Impossible TV series will conduct live scientific experiments and cook recipes from his latest book ‘Heston Blumenthal at Home’. Heston will open people’s minds to new paradigms and new ways to approach cooking.

Grilled by host Mike Hosking, Heston will take us on a journey from humble beginnings to the creation of iconic dishes such as ‘The Sound of the Sea’ with edible sand, logic defying Hot and Iced Tea, his famous Snail Porridge and the epic Mock Turtle Soup that takes three days to make.

Join Heston on a journey searching the archives for historic British recipes which inspired dishes for ‘Dinner by Heston Blumenthal’ in Knightsbridge, which has just been awarded its first Michelin star after only nine months in operation.

There is only one Heston and there is only one night - book now!

"eating is a complete sensory experience. It's the only thing we do that engages all of our senses. What I try to do is play with this idea to extend and deepen one's interaction with food." Read full NZ Herald interview with Heston
