Heston Blumenthal

Heston Blumenthal has created a culinary world of magic and wonder like nothing else on the planet. His restaurants and creative projects have defined new levels of cookery excellence, and pioneered brand new ways of looking at food. But his world is about to face a challenge like no other… his flagship restaurant, his pride and joy The ‘Fat Duck’, is migrating. Heston is picking up his entire restaurant, staff and facilities, and moving it 10,500 miles to Melbourne, Australia. There he will attempt to not only open, but successfully run his whole food operation in a brand new country for seven months. This documentary series will spend a year following this remarkable adventure.

Heston Blumenthal and his team, working closely with the UK Space Agency, ESA and NASA, attempt to revolutionise the previously limited world of space food. British astronaut Tim Peake set Heston a task before embarking on his mission at the International Space Station, which was to create seven dishes that would remind him of home, helping to combat the emotional impact of his journey. Heston takes Tim on a nostalgic trip back to his childhood with every bite, providing much-needed comfort food and creating the quintessential cup of tea - the first to be sipped in Space.

In this entertaining and emotionally powerful documentary, celebrated chef Heston Blumenthal takes his world-famous restaurant back to 2001 as restaurant critic Giles Coren challenges him - and staff past and present - to recreate an extraordinary tasting menu from a significant year for him and The Fat Duck. As he looks back to the past to prepare for the celebration, Heston unearths revealing truths about his life and career.
