This is more than a recipe book it is so beautifully put together it is a conversation piece of a coffee table book. A self trained man he has come a long way bless him and this book shows how any normal person with imagination can compete with and better trained chefs. An inspiration to us all. A fascinating and inspiring read. Thank you Heston

Just received the new The Big Fat Duck Cookbook, and it is big and juice with a twist of silver on the side..
I haven't read it all yet, i'll need a day more for that, but it will come. Well it looks like it have been worth waiting for.
Beautiful pictures and good details on almost everything..

Food Porn of the highest order! November 28, 2008

The book itself is simply beautiful to look at, full of scarfe-esque artwork. The first 100 or so pages tell the story of how the Fat Duck came into being, the next 300 are full of Fat Duck Recipes, explained in intricate detail, and photographed beautifully, and finally there is a section on the science of cooking. Do not think of this as a cookbook - unless you have a kitchen that can be measured in acres, with cookware and staff to match. Even the simplest recipe would take a day working in a normal kitchen, and although I am tempted, I haven't yet tried one. Think of this more as an insight into one of the best restaurants in the world, and a glimpse into the amazing mind of its proprietor.

This isn't a cook book in fact, the title itself is a play on words. This is a work of art, truly sublime and a piece of gastronomic history. Well worth the wait (weight) Heston in both volume and time! It will be a true Godley family heirloom and be passed from generation to generation. Absolutely wonderful, you have surpassed yourself, yet again.
The visual illustrations and the sheer design of the book are just breath-taking. No compromise, your integrity as always intact and compounded further by this amazing publication.
Thanks again. I am off to make a souffle from a flip flop and a varnished chair leg ( that was a joke)....cheers! JANEY

The Fat Duck Cook Book is not just for cooks. It is a beautiful book in its own right. There are some lovely illustrations and will be a treasure in years to come.
