Ok, we know what we’re going to do next. And it’s a bit different!

We’re going to take a project that we’d normally cover in the show - probably a Normal Person vs, perhaps the long-awaited Us Vs Heston Blumenthal - but rather than do it, shoot it, edit it, and let you see the results some months later, we’re going to try something a bit scary.

We’re going to show it to you live.

Yep, Kamikaze Cookery will be going live some time this month. We’ll let you know when it’s going to be - probably, if we’re doing something Hestonalicious, it’ll be over a couple of weekday evenings.

What we’ll do is:

• Twitter. We’ve just set up a Twitter feed, and as we cook, we’ll Twitter everything that goes wrong - erm, I mean “on”. Goes on.

  • Flickr. We’ll have a cameraperson there and we’ll be firing cool images up - of food, of FAIL, of frantic cooking - as we have them.

  • Video. Yep, you won’t be able to escape our ugly mugs. Expect to hear from us pretty regularly, talking about the science, arguing about the task, and possibly running screaming from a flaming kitchen. We might even have some animation for you…

  • Blogs. We’ll blog how it’s going as we have the time.

  • Webcam. For the hardcore, we’ll also set up a webcam, so you can watch the entire thing as we cook.

So - how does that sound? We’re really excited about it - it means we can have a lot more interaction with people, we can tackle longer or harder subjects, we can do Proper Testing ™, and we can argue about the difference between a blender and a food processor . It’s also going to mean less months of post-processing, which means more Kamikaze Cookery, faster.

Also - any ideas for what we should do? We’re definitely thinking Kamikaze Cookery vs the most complicated Heston Blumenthal (or maybe Thomas Keller) we can find, but we’re not fixed on that yet…
