The young chef currently heads up the Diner restaurant inside London’s Mandarin Oriental hotel where the kitchen work to unearth old recipes discovered through some truly amazing research.
We caught up with Palmer-Watts to discuss his work with Blumenthal and find out what it takes to research new, historically inspired, recipes.
