Start with Heston Blumenthal's iconic snail porridge recipe

Get inside the mind of culinary wizard Heston Blumenthal and re-create his iconic snail porridge dish. "It all works: parsley, snails, garlic is the theme of the base, but then the acidity of fennel salad on top cuts through it all. Is it a risotto, where does it fit and why savoury porridge? It's just one of those things that's super sideways but so delicious. And when you eat it, you get it. Heston's a genius," says head chef at The Fat Duck, Oli Williamson.
