It will be called Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, and feature modern versions of old English recipes; they have been testing recipes for months, with more to come—the place doesn’t open till December. . .Jason Atherton led off the program by demonstrating some recipes he’ll feature at his new restaurant, which opens in October, his first venture since leaving Maze. Interestingly, the program mentioning the great chefs he’s worked under and learned from included Pierre Koffman, Marc Haeberlin, and Ferran Adria, but not Gordon Ramsay. Surely an oversight? Whatever, his new venture is also eagerly awaited.]]> http://www.foodandwineinlondon.com/news.php news1279206995 www.chutneymary.com]]> http://www.foodandwineinlondon.com/news.php news1277725779 www.coventgardenlondonuk.com]]> http://www.foodandwineinlondon.com/news.php news1276600357 www.galvinrestaurants.com]]> http://www.foodandwineinlondon.com/news.php news1276245039 www.sushinho.com]]> http://www.foodandwineinlondon.com/news.php news1276244844 WineChap.
