Created by Shahina Khan, Modified on Fri, 16 May at 3:23 PM by Shahina Khan


Heston Blumenthal is a world-renowned chef known for his creative and curious approach to food. Completely self-taught, he became fascinated with historic British recipes in the early 2000s. This passion led to the creation of Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, a unique dining concept that brings centuries-old dishes back to life using modern techniques. Today, guests can experience this concept not only in London, but also at Dinner by Heston Blumenthal in Dubai, where history meets innovation in every bite.


Heston believes that dining should be more than just eating, it should be a multisensory journey. He often reimagines dishes from British heritage, transforming them with unexpected twists, scientific techniques, and playful presentation. Every detail, from ingredients to storytelling, is carefully thought out to create a one-of-a-kind experience that’s both nostalgic and cutting-edge.


His groundbreaking work has earned him global recognition. Heston was awarded an OBE (Order of the British Empire) by Queen Elizabeth II for his services to gastronomy, and he is also an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry. Through his restaurants, books, and television work, Heston continues to change the way the world thinks about food, inviting guests to rediscover history through the joy of fine dining.
