The Chromologist: Raymond Blanc

Raymond Blanc, culinary icon, author and hotelier, passionately champions the art of seasonal cooking and creativity in his revered cuisine. Patrick O’Donnell visits his world-renowned restaurant and hotel Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons in Oxfordshire, to learn and dine on Raymond’s journey, philosophy, and the power of colour in cooking.

Together they tour the hotel, kitchens, and all-important kitchen gardens, discussing everything from molecular gastronomy to forest sleeping. Along the way, they muse on his mother’s influence in igniting his love for seasonal cooking, his journey from France to England (via a broken jaw!) and how teamwork is an essential ingredient to achieving a vision.
