I haven’t always thought the best of Heston Blumenthal, but his ‘In Search of Perfection’ Christmas show and book has totally changed my mind. In the past, Blumenthal has used MRI scanners to create the ‘perfect’ chicken tikka masala and baked Alaska. Each Christmas, he cooks dinner for six celebrities, and what he cooks for dinner is always far from predictable. In 2007, the unusual holiday menu included reindeer milk ice cream, mulled wine that is both hot and cold in the same glass, sugar baubles with salmon mousse, and stock cubes served in gold, frankincense and myrrh. The 2008 menu is set to be equally decadent and innovative. Now that is an unquestionably awesome menu to enjoy from the hands of a ridiculously talented chef. I was naturally pleased to realize I was not alone in my views:  With Heston, I seem to lose consciousness. Aeons pass and dinosaurs rise and fall, before I wake from deep hiberation to hear his triumphant, "So there's your caramelised mincemeat brioche with nitro-scrambled reindeer ice-cream." Scrambled eggs, more or less. However, it all went down terribly well with the inveterate egomaniacs who, by now, were being personally hosed down with snow by the host, hiding behind a Christmas tree.
