Heston Blumenthal Obe

Advisory Committee at Karakuri

Internationally famous for his award-winning, 3 Michelin-starred The Fat Duck in Berkshire, Heston Blumenthal is considered to be one of the best and most influential chefs of his generation. Completely self-taught, he has pushed the boundaries of a traditional kitchen and changed the way people cook and think about eating. After extensive academic research, Heston was the first chef to affirm that eating is a ‘Multi -Sensory experience’. He advocates scientific understanding in cooking, for which he has been awarded honorary degrees from Reading, Bristol and London universities and was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry. He now brings to Karakuri his world-leading understanding of the intricacies of how science and food work together.
