It's not often a cookery show will change your life, but Heston's home kitchen just might!

1. Beef
Heston challenges the way Brits cook beef and confronts one of the biggest culinary myths out there - searing a steak doesn't in fact keep in the meat's juices. The secret to frying the perfect steak is Heston's scientific, but super-simple, flipping technique.
2. Eggs
Heston reveals the secret to a great boiled egg, the perfect poached egg and his signature scotch egg. Heston challenges his local Holyport Women's Institute to scramble eggs, and gives a masterclass in how to achieve a perfect lemon-custard tart every time without fail.
3. Chocolate
Heston challenges the way we cook chocolate as he lifts the lid on his magical popping candy, passion fruit gateaux with an exploding base, and an amazing flowerpot tiramisu with edible chocolate soil. There's a magic twist as Heston turns dark chocolate into rich chocolate wine.
4. Chicken
It might be the most popular meat in the world but Heston thinks the old bird needs a bit of a makeover. First up he attempts to revolutionise the way to roast a chicken, then he gets to grips with the chicken's many delicious parts... via an autopsy.
5. Cheese
Heston takes on cheese - one of the most popular cooking ingredients in the UK. He reveals the key ingredient for the ultimate cheese fondue, turns a block of cheddar into a four meter cheese string, and also makes a dream cheese toastie.
6. Potato
Heston takes on the humble spud - the foundation of every hearty British meal. But there's more to potatoes than just mashing, boiling or roasting.Heston reveals tips and techniques to transform Maris Pipers into mouth-watering main courses - from his triple-cooked chips to potato donuts, mash and potato skin jam
