Your kitchen is a famous multi-sensory experience. But Heston Blumenthal said he is not a workaholic, obsessed temperature, and expects its airline meals Olympic-themed try
With its oversized sunglasses, a shaved head and slightly mechanical movement, there is something in the brain of the Thunderbirds on Heston Blumenthal. And as puppets of Gerry Anderson, the owner of the famous Michelin-starred restaurant, The Fat Duck emerges an obsession of scientific discovery.
"A counselor friend of mine said that I might be ADD," admits the 45 years of age. "I said, 'If I'm ADD so how I can get past so much time and effort every day for many years, he said? "It's classic ADD. You have no patience for most things and then you find something you like and go the other. "
obsessive or not, the famous cooking technique Blumenthal seems to have survived a three-year trial. In 2009, the restaurant was closed for six weeks after an error vomiting, thought to be caused by norovirus and linked to shellfish, affected 500 customers. Three years later, despite the price tag of ? 180 per person, the waiting list for the tasting menu is a backup of two months.
last year opened its first restaurant in London, dinner at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, and was used last year by British Airways as part of its program of Britain promote British talent in the years of the London Games. It is the tutorial for Torquay based on a star chef Simon Hulstone to create four Olympic-themed menus that serve three million passengers on BA flight distance long summer.
transfer of responsibility in the theft of a famous person menus may seem difficult to cook a risky proposition, but Blumenthal - also renewed dining chain drive from the little menu manager in 2009 - says he enjoys
"I was fascinated," he said. "It's weird with food from the plane. It's like they expect to be bad. In the context of eating in the sky, if you paid six pounds for most of the bar food, you would return. But we are happy to sit on the plane, open these small containers, and still expect it to be - or at least I hope -. a highlight of the trip expect have created menus and Simon will be the highlight of the trip. " curious diners can sample menus for next week in a pop-up restaurant in Shoreditch.
Last year was also a time of personal crisis Blumenthal, who is separated from his wife Zanna, and they have three teenage children. His new partner is the actor in the kitchen became a writer Suzanne Pirret. He also lost his father. "My father died and he was very, very difficult, and it was all happening while the Mandarin was the opening. Things like that, you have to deal with depth. Very deep. It is much easier now, but of course none of this will affect the development. "
"But I still have the disk. I have not emotion. I still love what I do and I feel very fortunate to get up in the morning and want to work. And with television, books, restaurants and Waitrose, at any point we have 600 dishes in development and many of those that feed back in restaurants, and this is where I have more fun . "
As if to illustrate this point, he launches into a surprisingly quick and detailed explanation of the lengths of which is currently hard to perfect each dish, which culminates in the assertion that the 72C (161F) is the only temperature at which to cook a lemon pie.
is this level of precision molecular Blumenthal is known for: not for him the more casual, family cooking approach promoted by celebrity chefs than others. Last year, Marco Pierre White cooking Blumenthal called "a well-oiled production line, technically impeccable," but lacks romance. Blumenthal turns pink when I raise this issue and said. "I like to think that my food is very emotional," then tells the story of one of their dishes, where diners enjoy the sounds of breaking waves in iPod, while enjoying the knives, shrimp and oysters.
Device made famous admirers
Blumenthal won. Just three years after the opening of the Fat Duck in 1995 in a dilapidated 450 year old pub in Bray, Berkshire, was his first Michelin star. He received his third in 2004, and the best restaurant in the World award in 2005 was followed by an OBE in 2006. Then came the honor of the Food Guide UK Restaurant Good first time in 2007 and 2009 and the Year 2010 BAFTA Award for celebrations of the Channel 4 show Heston.
Successhad the luxury of a large support network of talented chefs, psychologists, cognitive scientists experimental neurologists, musicians and writers, collectively responsible for generating a mutli sensory experience superlative. All this is a million miles from its earliest days.
"When we started, I worked stupid hours," said Blumenthal, whose first paid job as chief was to the Fat Duck.
"I worked 120 hours a week for eight years. This is from 20 to 22 hours a day every day and one week I sleep only 15 hours. "
surely this kind of sleep deprivation caused an urgent need to attack the aliens with a kitchen knife?
"I kind of did. Not literally attacking someone with a knife, but in the early years, it was very quiet, "he says with admirable modesty.
"Before, if someone does something wrong, I had a go and blame them, but I realized that if they took full responsibility for everything, we must always be my fault, I have to be used the wrong person for the job, I expected a lot from them, or I have not properly trained. "
It is the stereotype of the clutch chef's knife, reducing their lead Commission to a collapse of blancmange, a thing of the past?
