In the end isn’t a roast all about the roast potatoes? While we all love a roast, I reckon that deep down we all have this secret shared belief that the best bit of any roast is the roast potato. Of course there’s a majesty to a tender, juicy, aromatic chicken with a lovely browned skin. Of course a big-flavoured gravy makes a difference. But no matter how delicious everything else is, if the roasties aren’t quite there, then we’re not quite satisfied. That’s probably part of the reason I got a
This recipe is a firm family favourite. The roast chicken is made extra juicy by brining the chicken before roasting it, then cooking it for a long time at a gentle temperature. Brining is a fantastic technique for keeping moisture in food and it is incredibly simple to do. It involves a little forethought but minimum effort and it will guarantee a juicy and succulent bird every time.

Swapping the traditional meat filling for tender mushrooms, Heston's wellington serves up a delightfully buttery pastry with the classic spinach layer.
When I watch cooking shows on TV, I am often inspired to try the dish the chef/cook on TV is making. In most cases, I'd have to go shop for the ingredients first and so the dish never gets done. Or maybe it does ... months later. But when I saw British chef Heston Blumenthal demonstrate his method of cooking scrambled eggs on MasterChef Australia (Season 5, episode 49), I got up right after the episode and tried his recipe out - all I needed was eggs, milk, cream and butter, all staples in my pantry. Heston doesn't scramble his eggs in a pan. What he does is combine all the ingredients (eggs, milk, cream and butter) in a heat resistant bowl and place it over a saucepan of boiling water. He then stirs and stirs and stirs the mixture until the butter melts into the egg and milk and cream (and salt and pepper) and the eggs start to curdle. To get the creamiest eggs, Heston says you have to cook the eggs very gently - not directly over the heat but over a water bath/bain marie. Well, he's right, of course. What you end up with is a deliciously creamy bowl of eggs that are as smooth as satin. Well, kinda. But boy, are they creamy and nice. But that's not all. He tops the eggs with some brown butter or beurre noisette (literally translated to mean hazelnut butter). OH MY GOD. Is this the food of kings or what! (He also adds a few drops of sherry vinegar which I didn't have and so didn't use). Eaten with toast and maybe with a sprinkling of chopped parsley and this is a breakfast to get you going! Heston's Scrambled Eggs 3 large eggs 15g butter 15g milk 15g cream salt and pepper Put all ingredients in a heat resistant bowl. Boil a saucepan of water. When the water has started boiling, place the bowl on top of the pan (make sure the water doesn't touch the base of the bowl). With a spatula, gently stir the mixture until it starts to curdle. Take it off the heat and plate. Brown Butter Heat some unsalted butter in a pan over low heat. Swirl the butter around until it melts and then starts to brown and smell nutty. Take it off the heat and strain through a coffee strainer. Spoon over the eggs.

Heston Blumenthal shares a few simple tips to help replicate his lemon tart recipe. "For this tart to achieve greatness, the filling has to be exactly the right texture – not too soft but not too firm either. The most reliable way to get it right is to use a digital probe which takes out all the guesswork. When blind baking, the pastry should be treated like a biscuit; if you think it is done, cook it for a little bit longer. Also, use the best lemons you can so that they contribute great acidity."

The key is to cut the potatoes so they have lots of sharp edges then to cook them until they are almost falling apart.
Cook the perfect steak by following Heston Blumenthal's recipe. He says, "By flipping the meat every 15–20 seconds, the steak will develop a crisp, flavoursome exterior without being overcooked in the centre. After cooking, it is important to remove the old oil from the pan and then, after a couple of minutes, to add the new oil while the pan is still warm. A good heat is required to get the flavour of the garlic, lemon and rosemary but if it’s too hot it will lose the freshness".
Consisting of six layers, Heston Blumenthal’s Black Forest gateau, as featured in his In Search of Perfection series and accompanying cookbook, is an elaborate and decadent version of the well-known dessert that he served at his restaurant The Fat Duck in Bray. Multiple layers of the cake can be made even a month in advance, with only two having to be made on the day that the cake is being assembled for eating. The cooking technique requires some non-regular cooking equipment, patience, and practice. To further help replicate the ambiance of the Black Forest when serving, Heston recommends spraying some kirsch in the air with an atomizer.
