Heston's Great British Food

Afternoon Tea (2x4)

Uitzenddatum: Mei 22, 2014

Heston gives the classic British afternoon tea a few very special twists, conjuring something the Mad Hatter himself would be proud of. Heston does his own take on the Victoria sandwich cake. Inspired by a visit to Wedgwood fine china manufacturers, he makes an edible cake stand out of sponge and adds some 'sandwich' cakes that look like smoked salmon and cream cheese, but are in fact sweet cakes made from Earl Grey sponge and blood orange pâté de fruit. For tea, Heston brews a Darjeeling and hedgerow infusion and cucumber sandwich tea leaves. There's also a sandwich casino inside a beautiful country house in Staffordshire, where the guests are able to eat the playing cards, casino chips and even the gambling table. And there's one last surprise, with a chocolate teapot that pours Earl Grey chocolate tea.
