Food disguises….what you see is not what you are actually eating…many chefs all over the world have mastered the art of making dining an art form .One of my favourite chefs whose work I am completely in awe of is Heston Blumenthal…his 3 michelin star rated restaurant ‘The Fat Duck’ has been consisitently voted among the top dining establishments in the world.Having read about him and his recipes before, I first saw him cook and actually saw his recipes be created on an episode of Masterchef Australia…and he was like this highly sophisticated food scientist …his flavours extraordinary to say the least !
Is that a pic perfect fruit or is it not ?!!! His fruit platter has to be seen to be believed…how a person can begin to conceive and then go on to create that which he has conceptulised…to perfection is ‘sheer genius at work’!!!!
There you have the fruit which is actually a cheese platter…hence the bread !
His restaurant takes fine dining to a whole new level…some of his dishes are actually served with ear phones with sounds of the sea or other forms of music pertaining to his dish…a lot of aura and mystique surround some of his creations like they are lost lands which you can see through a foggy haze…he believes that the act of eating is for all the senses and not just for the taste buds alone….who am I to argue with him !!!!!?!!
