Heston Blumenthal Wants To Improve Hospital Food

Filed under: Dining

England's hospital food is getting a boost from a famous chef. Chef Heston Blumenthal of "The Fat Duck" is working with the NHS to pep up patient menus. As he told the Cheltenham Science Festival: "Mealtimes should be something to be celebrated in hospital." He's a year into a project with the NHS which is looking at ways of improving the flavor in the food and making hospital dining a more pleasant experience. Between this and Blumenthal's menu for the Little Chef restaurants it seems like the chef, who is famous for unique food like snail porridge and egg and bacon ice cream, seems to be becoming more mainstream. But he is in good company, many chefs including Jamie Oliver and Ferran Adria have also taken a crack at improving hospital food.
