It would have to take a special someone for me to bring the crew out of London, away from the set, to film an episode. And Raymond Blanc is indeed that special someone.

We travelled to the magical Le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons in Oxfordshire, where Raymond resides, to film a truly special conversation. Sat amongst the famous gardens, we spoke all about his childhood growing up in France, his somewhat tumultuous start in the kitchens, finally taking over Le Manoir and what food, Michelin stars and tastes mean to him.

I felt really honoured to have had this time with him and a huge thank you to the team at Le Manoir for accommodating us.
