Heston Blumenthal Makes World’s Most Expensive Sandwich

March 15, 2016 By David Hall

Heston Blumenthal Creates Million Dollar Sandwich

Heston Blumenthal has created the most expensive sandwich in the history of, well, sandwich making. We’re talking about a total development cost running into millions of pounds, including fuel.

The bacon sandwich is among a number of dishes, seven to be precise, which he created for Major Tim Peake (Major Peake is the UK’s first European Space Agency astronaut) to bring along to the International Space Station.

In an interview with the Radio Times Blumenthal said he was “incredulous that after all the billions of pounds invested in space travel, this rocket is taking cans of my food into space!”

Roger Verge – Chef Of The Sun – Is Dead

June 7, 2015 By David Hall

The very sad news of the passing Roger Vergé has just reached us. He was 85 years old and passed away on Friday 6th June 2015.

Vergé was known as one of France’s greatest chefs, especially for his updating of Classic French Mediterranean Cooking which became known as Cuisine of the Sun.

Vergé was born in Commentry (Allier) in 1930, and gets his first taste of serious cuisine with his aunt Celestine. He then commenced working in his hometown at Alexis Chanier at Le Bourbonnais.

He then worked in larger establishments, La Tour d’Argent, and at the Plaza Athénée in Paris. Then he joined Le Club de Cavalière, Var, a restaurant with two Michelin stars. He also gained culinary experience even further afield in Morocco, Algeria and Kenya.

The Most Brutally Honest Chef Job Advert Ever

May 29, 2015 By David Hall

A restaurateur/chef in Glasgow (that’s in Scotland) has attracted lots of attention by posting a Chef Job Ad that holds absolutely nothing back. He held so little back that the site hosting the Chef Job Ad [note link goes to our job board, we have to get a plug in for ourselves somewhere along the way too – the link to the actual chef job advert in context is provided toward the bottom of the article] has forced him to censor the ad.

Even censored though, the ad is eye wateringly honest. No chef turning up for an interview at this place could ever say he hadn’t be warned, and well warned, in advance about the, ahem, job challenges which lay ahead. Keep reading Chefs because the juicy details are coming. Anyway the job ad was for a Sous Chef and no amount of meta commentary by me can ever do justice to the advert itself, which we’ll be getting to very soon, that’s a promise.

10 Life Lessons Chefs Can Teach Civilians

What Chefs Would Tell You – If You Asked

Chef’s aren’t like other people, they’re just not. How could they be? They work in a hot and humid climate all day long, and most of the night too.

People appreciate what they do, but they almost never get the satisfaction of hearing that applause or even a direct compliment. As for the tips their talents generate? They almost never see a red cent of it.

What they do get is to experience intense pressure, have their work held to high standards and have to do this over and over again. They are only ever as good as their last meal.

They could work like heroes all week, but if they even mess up one dish, on one table suddenly they’re excoriated and shunned, if only till things blow over. That’s the job of a chef, that’s their life but it doesn’t stop them having opinions about you! About how easy you have it and about their lack of patience with your gripes and complaints. Here’s what they’re thinking and… [Read more…]

Who Is The Chef Of Chefs – The Greatest Chef Of All?

May 22, 2015 By David Hall

The Greatest Chef Of All Time, who is it? There’s no scientific method to finding out and most polls on the subject heavily skew towards who’s in fashion right now.

You’d expect better from us, I hope, so we’ve assembled 24 of the greatest chefs from times present and times past.
