    This is one of my favourite deserts and gives me proper nostalgia as my mom used to make it for us, an absolute sugar high and like you said, it will definitely make your teeth itch!
    Great video as always, keep em coming!

      *Hopefully* the lemon just takes the edge of the oversweetness. Can't get away from the fact that it's super-sweet though.

      I was hoping people would try over the weekend! Lots of store cupboard basics, most of which you can get from the corner shop.

    I'm South African, but my Great Granny was from the UK and she'd sometimes make treacle tart for us. After she died, my Gran would sometimes make it for us. A few months ago I stumbled upon their recipe in my mom's recipe tin and I decided to make it. We don't get the golden syrup tins with the lion and bees anymore either (apparently it was from a biblical story?) but my dad still has a few of the tins because he liked them and kept them. They're very pretty and so nostalgic for me. Anyway, despite the plastic-bottled golden syrup the tart was as delicious and as sticky-sweet as I remember it. It's lovely to watch you make it xxx

      What a sweet story. Thanks for sharing. Heston is a big fan of nostalgia and food been entwined and I think he'd really appreciate you time-travelling with a sweet treat.

      @@BigSpud thank you, I certainly hope so. My love of cooking actually comes from my ex-husband's (we're still good friends, thankfully) interest in Heston's huge influence on the way we cook, investment in knowledge about food, and appreciation of things food-related. It's lovely how intertwined it all is, just like food is in our lives xxx

    Absolutely love this! The sheer detail and passion! Looks a great cookbook and this is a tremendous insight from a classic recipe, with true detail and forensic precision from Heston. No-one has turned cooking cuisine into a true science so much as Blumanthel. The zest and salt is an interesting combo and addition to balance the sweetness. How did you get that back in the oven?! Superb engagement, visuals and editing, truly enjoyed this. Always good to see a tasting session too. Keep up the great work Gary. HHH

      Many thanks HHH! I'm not sure why I tried to put it in the oven like that, I even said in commentary to put it in the oven and then pour it in. Do as I say not as I do!

    Those are not flies around the dead lion. It derives from a Bible passages, Judges v14 ch14 : "Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness", and refers to bees making a honeycomb in the corpse of a lion.

      Many thanks for the reminder. I'm pretty sure I knew that, don't know why I said 'flies'! Looks like it will be a moot soon as they are moving to a lion-only design www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-68347249
