Has Heston Lost His Flair?

His scientific experiment with food has made Heston Blumenthal a culinary genius over the years. His un-conventional methods saw him create some inspirational, whacky and surprising dishes. His 3 Michelin star restaurant The Fat Duck showed people his reinterpretation on British cuisines. With dishes such as snail porridge, "Sounds of the Sea" and powered Anjou pigeon, really showing off Blumenthal’s witty but brilliant mind.

He created mind blowing dishes and experimented to enlarge foods to an unknown scale. Creating TV shows such as ‘Heston’sFantastical Food’ and ‘Heston’s Feasts’.

However the experimental genious doesn’t always get his ingredients right. In 2009 The Fat Duck was closed down due to diners and staff becoming sick with the norovirus, a common stomach bug. However this has occurred again this year, but it was his two Michelin-starred Dinner at the Mandarin Oriental hotel on Hyde Park in London this time. An article written for News London (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-26006223) wrote that, ‘A total of 24 diners and 21 members of staff were taken ill’.

Has his culnery genious lost his touch with creating taste sensations? Or is he experimenting too far?
