BiographyHeston Marc Blumenthal (born 27 May 1966) is an English celebrity chef, TV personality and food writer. His restaurants include the Fat Duck in Bray, Berkshire, a three-Michelin-star restaurant that was named the world's best by the World's 50 Best Restaurants in 2005.
Blumenthal is regarded as a pioneer of multi-sensory cooking, food pairing and flavour encapsulation. He came to public attention with unusual recipes such as bacon-and-egg ice cream and snail porridge. His recipes for triple-cooked chips and soft-centred Scotch eggs have been widely imitated. He has advocated a scientific approach to cooking, for which he has been awarded honorary degrees from the universities of Reading, Bristol and London and made an honorary fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry.
Blumenthal's public profile was boosted by a number of television series, most notably for Channel 4, as well as a product range for the Waitrose supermarket chain introduced in 2010. Blumenthal also owns Dinner, a two-Michelin-star restaurant in London, and a one-Michelin-star pub in Bray, the Hind's Head.
Blumenthal had attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, a condition he believes made him hyper-focused on his work, and bipolar disorder. He is an ambassador for the charity Bipolar UK.
