Course outline

  • Duck and beetroot barley with a Vegetarian alternative

    In this lesson Peter will walk you, step by step, through the process of creating his renowned duck and beetroot barley dish. The nuttiness of barley complements the earthiness of beetroot. You will then learn how to make a vegetarian alternative using Fable, a meat alternative derived from mushrooms.

  • Triple-Cooked Chips

    Heston became obsessed with chips around 1992, before he had even opened The Fat Duck. Imitations of Heston’s legendary triple-cooked chips have since cropped up, but in this lesson you will learn how to make them the right way, resulting in a crisp, glass-like exterior with the perfect crunch. To finish off, Lowri Jones, Head Sommelier at The Hind’s Head will take you through wine pairings for these dishes.

Meet Peter Gray

Peter Gray - Food & Drink
Head chef at The Hind’s Head, Pete’s energy, creativity and curiosity make him perfectly suited for the culinary research and development that plays such an important part in the restaurant. Integral to the Hind’s Head is Heston Blumenthal’s philosophy of ‘Question Everything’ – something Pete aims to uphold every day in his kitchen. His curated menu is seasonal, and Peter constantly strives to re-imagine the best of traditional British cooking.

Pete says: ‘I have free reign to come up with ideas and put dishes forward for the menu, although it takes quite a bit of time for that to happen because we like to ensure everything about a dish is perfect before it’s served to customers. We’re always refining and tweaking existing dishes to ensure they’re as good as they can be.’

Pete has proved himself to be more than capable of the job, and The Hind’s Head continues to be a destination restaurant that serves incredible British classics with a quirky Heston twist. The dishes themselves might look simple, but the amount of work that goes into ensuring every plate that leaves the pass is perfect as can be is astounding.
