With his statement glasses in place, it's not too difficult to spot British chef Heston Blumenthal among the crowd at Romano's at JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar. The maverick chef is in the country for Masters of Marriott, where on Saturday, he presented an exclusive dinner. Tonight's dinner is in Delhi. What might seemingly look like a basic grey T-shirt, actually sports his personal coat of arms, now how many chefs can boast of that?
Everything about Blumenthal is like his food, the flavours run a lot more deep than what you see. The joy with which he answers questions and poses for photographs with a mixed bag of fans - known chefs, journalists and food bloggers - it's difficult to fathom that he is the genius behind a three Michelin-starred restaurant, a Michelin-starred upmarket pub, and countless TV shows and books.
