I was born in the 60s and grew up in the 70s – not exactly the best decade for food in British history. It was horrendous. It was a time when, as a nation, we excelled in art and music and acting and photography and fashion – all creative skills… all apart from cooking. – Heston Blumenthal

To me, food is as much about the moment, the occasion, the location and the company as it is about the taste. – Heston Blumenthal
