Raymond Blanc’s Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons first opened its doors 30 long years ago, to instant acclaim. A year later it won two Michelin stars; it still has them today. Many of its former chefs have gone on to become the biggest names in the culinary world – Sat Bains, John Burton-Race, Heston Blumenthal, Marco Pierre White… the list goes on.
Blanc can even take some credit for the culinary renaissance we’re seeing in the UK today. His pursuit of perfection and his focus on freshness, taste and quality was years ahead of its time. “The first British food I had was a fish finger,” he recalls. “I was astonished because it looked nothing like a fish. Now Britain has more international cuisine than France.”
