The Fat Duck Cookbook by Heston Blumenthal is a cookbook for a small
minority of customers. You must have an interest in molecular gastronomy
methods. You must have a budget that allows you to eat at expensive
restaurants. You must like odd people that don't conform to all the norms of
society.
Other The Fat Duck Cookbook reviewers have pointed out the recipes are extremely complicated. A lot of details are given, but you should be prepared to shell out a couple of thousands of dollars on (used) equipment before you can get started. The book has some pictures of the dishes, but could do with more descriptive pictures.
However, this is just not a glossy book to boost the ego of its The Fat Duck Cookbook author. I find the discussion around taste, chemistry and visuals relating to each recipe very interesting. You really get a look into Heston's thought process. I don't think Heston has used a ghost writer. I would imagine this can inspire both professional chefs as well as amateur cooks, if so inclined. One place to start experimenting might be with the whisky gums, which don't require any expensive equipment.
