For many of us, the perfect meal won't be some fancy restaurant food. Stuck on a desert island our dream dish is more likely to be something we grew up with and have taken to our hearts
Perfection is an eight-part prime-time BBC TV series hosted by Heston Blumenthal. The series focuses on eight classic dishes - Fish and Chips, Bangers and Mash, Spag Bol, Risotto, Roast Beef, Steak and Salad, Pizza and Treacle Tart and Ice Cream. Heston will look at the provenance of these dishes, how to source the best ingredients and what to look for, and of course, how to cook them to 'perfection'.
This tie-in book of the same name contains all Heston's recipes for the classic dishes and all his hints and tips on how to cook the very best ingredients, as well as fascinating information on the background to these dishes.
