HE'S MENTORED THE GREATEST CHEFS IN THE WORLD BUT HE'S SELF TAUGHT - THIS IS THE BOLD STORY OF RAYMOND BLANC

HE'S MENTORED THE GREATEST CHEFS IN THE WORLD BUT HE'S SELF TAUGHT - THIS IS THE BOLD STORY OF RAYMOND BLANC

When I was at uni, I’d come home from a day of lectures and put Raymond Blanc’s shows on my laptop - he was my safe space, and watching him would always calm any anxiety and make me feel calm. So when he replied to my message inviting him onto my show, excited is an understatement.


Raymond is a true legend of the culinary world - holding two Michelin stars for the last 41 years, mentoring some of the greatest - from Heston Blumenthal to Marco Pierre White - and being entirely self-taught! You could say there’s a romance to his childhood, but growing up in post-war France was far from easy; gardening a lot of their own food, the hard work instilled by his father, combined with his obsession with the details, led him to seek excellence, becoming the best cleaner, the best waiter, the best chef and ultimately cultivating the best culinary experience in the country. Then during the pandemic, Raymond nearly lost it all when he developed a very serious case of COVID, but his relentless drive never faded, making a full recovery.


Raymond’s story is one of boldness and strength, how through grit, humility and a deep belief in your craft, you can create joy
