Heston Blumenthal is one of the most innovative chefs in the world and his restaurant ranks as one of the planet's best. It's one of only a handful of UK restaurants ever to receive three Michelin stars- an honour it has held since 2004. In 2005, it was named number one in San Pellegrino's World's 50 Best list and currently sits in third place. The chef/owner has also been awarded an OBE as well as an Honorary Degree of Doctor of Science, from the University of Reading.
Blumenthal's story could come out of Masterchef. He's a self-taught cook who started out as a photocopy salesman before opening a bistro in 1995 in what was previously a dodgy pub.
The cutting-edge dishes such as Sound of the Sea (looks like a seashore) served with an iPod soundtrack of waves and seagull cries, as well as the classic dishes with a bent, such as the fragrant Taffety Tart of crisp wafers sandwiching flavours of caramelised apple, fennel, rose and candied lemon.
I hope one day i get to try out his restaurant in London, maybe even work side by side with one of the best chef in the world.
