How many tipsy cakes have you eaten? With Dinner by Heston Blumenthal’s Chef Tom Allen (the scientist)
We’re continuing our two part miniseries, The Artist and The Scientist. This week, co-host Tiffany Eslick speaks to Chef Tom Allen, head chef at the one-Michelin-star Dinner by Heston Blumenthal at Atlantis The Royal.
While incredibly creative, the menu at Dinner is backed by a rigorous scientific process where everything is so precise – from the way ingredients are sourced, how logistics are managed and how it’s all plated. Chef Tom also shares how he’s not much of a planner, and prefers to connect with good people and live in the moment.
You can also catch the first part of the miniseries with Ossiano’s Chef Gregoire Berger in your podcast app right before this one. -
