Not the easiest recipe but compared to some of his creations it's a walk in the park. I love the last paragraph which I will include here for those too lazy to click a link...
"Sound of the Sea - a recipe on the Fat Duck menu that's a little less practical to prepare at home. It's brought to the table in something that looks a little like an aquarium, has edible sand, sea shells, coral, marine flora and fauna and foamy waves, and is served with a large conch shell, which conceals an MP3 player playing marine sounds as you eat. The recipe takes four closely typed pages. I really don't think you want to try that one at home"
You'd assume he'd completely lost the plot if it wasn't being served in a 3 Michelin star restaurant.

that's nothing compared to the mushroom ketchup he made the other night...it took a full 24 hrs at least, he had to boil the mushrooms, then soak them in a vinegar overnight and then strain them through a muslin cloth with salt to remove the juice, then cooked them again and reduced the liquid down to a thicker sauce...totally ridiculous! He also does a lot of cooking with dry ice and measures infintessimally small temperature increases and emphasises how important it is for the recipe!
p.s i would be interested to know what the "sound of the sea" actually is though.

Oh, so not at all weird then!!!
That is hilarious. Did anyone read the blog entry that went with the second photo? "Heston and his team don't just want you to have an awesome eating experience; they want to fuck with your head."
