hi guys/gls
heston is back with a new series tonight its on bbc2 at 8.30 for those who want to cook the perfect CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA.......then you must not miss this. if any of you ever caught his first series where he cooked the perfect fish and chips/sausage/chicken etc he has the only pub in the country to hold a michelin star. he is truly a perfectionist and has been known as a gastranomic scientist.
i can't wait but i have asked my sister to copy it on to dvd for me so i maybe able to post it or burn you a copy. will see how it comes out !
regards

Hi gary
I don't know if you can convert it to a smaller file and upload it to one of the newsgroups, but it would be good if you could as I don't think I'm going to see this and I really rate old Heston and his scientific approach to cooking.
-
I've just been tipped off that the video is now available for download on the alt.binaries.multimedia.cooking newsgroup for those that missed it or just can't get it in their country.
-
That's pretty neat Santa thank you. They are Rar files. Has anyone opened one yet? I suppose we need a player right?

You can download a good freeware decoder for the rar files here:
http://www.7-zip.org/
and a freeware player here:
http://smplayer.sourceforge.net/en/windows/download.php
I've downloaded the video and it is working.

Santa which files are they please? When I try I just get a rar file but having never used the 7zip before am a little lost. ::)
Many thanks. :)

In 7zip click on FILE then click on OPEN and select the file named "InSearchofPerfection S2E1.part1.rar" from wherever you downloaded it to. This will join the rar file parts and open its contents which is the video file named "In Search of Perfection S02E01.avi". You can then save this to disk by clicking the "Extract" button. I'm assuming here that you have actually managed to download all six parts of the rar file and that they are all in the same directory.

Thanks very much Santa.
Ok here's the prob.
The extensions I see are nzb. Am I going to the right place please? ::)

hi guys/gls
it wasnot what i thought it was going to be :-[. this is his perfect butter chicken dish which he saw and tasted in delhi. it started off okay they went (him and his family) to their local bir and have ctm right then he is in delhi india walking the spice markets thn he went to two restaurants both did a butter chicken completely differently one was saucier than the other so he then returned to england after seeing who they cooked chicken tikka (thighs not breast) in a tandoor and laser measuring the temperature inside the tandoor from about 10 feet away at 380 degrees C . then you see him digging a bloody great hole in his pubs carpark and the lining it with heat proof bricks forming a 5 foot tandoor he then proced to fill bottom of whole with charcoals lighting them and the cooking chicken thighs in about five minutes flat. all in all i was not impressed by this and was completely horrified when he had completed his butter chicken (authentic) he chopped some green chillies put them on top of the finished dish and no coriander but toasted melon seeds and that was his perfect chicken tikka masala ???
sorry peeps what a let down again when will the television channels gives us what we want a real indian bir programme!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this part should be under the best dish heading as tonight i watched this guy from wales called hugh...of course. cooked an lamb and leek curry (i think he was trying to cook it bir style he cooked his onions leeks tomatoes in a big pan with water then added the lamb to ccok once cooked he removed it from the veg then blended it . he then added the lamb, sauce spices to a frying pan to cook again but did not heat the spices correctly so they judges got amouth full of flavourles lamb no visible leeks and raw spices . it did make me grin. especially as he had the cooker for it.
anyway needless to say he lost

Gary,
I agree with you, my girlfriend just loved it when i started screaming at the TV, Chili and Melon Seeds....i mean what sort of BIR does that.
Once again we are back on the holy grail trail to find the elusive quest to cook a proper BIR Curry at home.
Time for all 3000+ members to get into their local takeway and get some recipe...
Stew ::)

My local owes me after serving up gristle. I'm not without teeth either being a publisher here. ;)
Let you know.
At least I'll try. No promises.

To be fair to Heston I don't think he ever tries to make exact copies of the dishes he makes. What he does is try to perfect a particular recipe by analysing the dish in minute detail and perfecting each process while using the best ingredients. I think if you watch it as a programme that is trying to show you how to make BIR CTM then you will be, as you were, very disappointed.

Yes Santa, I think you're right, Personal Mail is far better for one-on-one correspondence of this type 8)

sorry but it wasnot ctm but butter chicken and the last place you would look for ctm is india as the dish was created in the uk imho.surely you would at least checkout the place you eat maybe you could ask the chef ....heston
