Classify Celebrity Chef Heston Blumenthal

[Anglojew]

Heston Marc Blumenthal, OBE (born 27 May 1966) is an English celebrity chef and owner of several restaurants. As well as inventing a number of recipes that have since entered the mainstream, such as Triple-cooked Chips and soft-centred Scotch Eggs, he is also a keen advocate for the importance of scientific understanding in cooking (for which he has been awarded honorary degrees from Reading, Bristol and London universities and made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry), and a pioneer of multi sensory cooking, food-pairing and flavour encapsulation. He has advanced his ideas in books, two long-running newspaper columns and several TV series.

Blumenthal owns The Fat Duck in Bray, Berkshire which is one of only four restaurants in Britain that have three Michelin stars, and was voted No. 1 in The World’s 50 Best Restaurants in 2006. Blumenthal also owns the restaurant Dinner in London, which has two Michelin stars, and two pubs in Bray, the Crown and the Hind’s Head, which has one Michelin star.

He and the whole Fat Duck restaurant are moving to Australia for six months which is great news for the already amazing Melbourne "foodie" scene.

I'd say almost classic Borreby with very minor Armenid admixture (visible in bottom photo).

Is his surname Scandinavian or Jewish? I've seen both Jews and Scandinavians with that surname "Valley of blossoms" lol

Jewish grandfather but he "considers himself Jewish".

He does look very Borreby, but his head is longer than usual for a Borreby, so I would think he is admixed with some dolichocephalic type.

He's a good example of a modern Cro-Magnid type.
