Product Information

His interest in cooking began at the age of sixteen on a family holiday to Provence, France, when he was taken to the 3-Michelin-starred restaurant L'Oustau de Baumanière. [8] :13 He was inspired by the quality of the food and "the whole multi-sensory experience: the sound of fountains and cicadas, the heady smell of lavender, the sight of the waiters carving lamb at the table". [9] When he learned to cook, he was influenced by the cookbook series Les recettes originales, with French chefs such as Alain Chapel. [8] You could save some money by buying Sage’s Dual Boiler espresso machine along with a separate grinder, but the Oracle is a far neater solution. Heather Saul (12.11.13), 'Celebrity chef Heston Blumenthal to launch restaurant at Heathrow airport's new 2.5bn Terminal 2', Independent In 2009, for a private party held during Ascot week, Blumenthal was invited to cook a meal for Queen Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle. The menu included baked salmon, strawberry gateau and a starter, composed to look like a bowl of fruit, that consisted of offal and sweetbreads. [43] He was selected to provide the picnic meal for participants in Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations, [44] and was a guest in the Royal Box at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee concert in June 2012.

Advanced multi cooker with stir free risotto.

Heston Marc Blumenthal OBE HonFRSC ( / ˈ b l uː m ən t ɔː l/; born 27 May 1966) is a British celebrity chef, TV personality and food writer. Blumenthal is regarded as a pioneer of multi-sensory cooking, food pairing and flavour encapsulation. He came to public attention with unusual recipes, such as bacon-and-egg ice cream and snail porridge. His recipes for triple-cooked chips and soft-centred Scotch eggs have been widely imitated. He has advocated a scientific approach to cooking, for which he has been awarded honorary degrees from the universities of Reading, Bristol and London and made an honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry. In January 2011, Blumenthal opened his first restaurant outside Bray, Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, at the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London. Historians helped to develop the restaurant's dishes from historic British recipes. Dinner was awarded its first Michelin star in 2012. [13] It was voted the 7th best restaurant in the world in 2013. [14] It received a second Michelin Star in the 2014 Michelin Guide. [15] Now to the final part: adding the milk. And here the Oracle offers features specific to such a top-end model. Its drinks are also far more intense and punchy than those delivered by most other machines we’ve tried in this class. It’s an automated machine that feels like it is made for real coffee enthusiasts – something of a rarity.

Sage by Heston Blumenthal’s The Oracle gives you the feel of a manual espresso machine, while automating the functions that require a bit of expertise. To explain, we’ll take you through the process of making a cup of coffee.

A huge and hugely versatile high-end bread maker

From the professional-looking, stainless steel styling to the booklet by Heston Blumenthal, Sage is keen to impress you with its foodie credentials. The booklet is genuinely interesting and edifying, with a couple of recipes from Heston plus his “here comes the science bit, concentrate” bit about how microwaves work and how to cook with chocolate. The event that cemented Heston's interest in this area was his creation of a crab ice cream to accompany a crab risotto. "People had difficulty accepting Crab Ice Cream, yet if it was renamed "Frozen Crab Bisque", people found it more acceptable and less sweet. [8] p.71 The phenomenon was subsequently researched by Martin Yeomans and Lucy Chambers of the University of Sussex, who served test subjects a version of Blumenthal's ice cream flavoured with smoked salmon, but told one group they would be tasting ice cream and the other that they would be tasting a frozen savoury mousse. Although all consumed identical food, those eating what they thought was savoury mousse found the flavour acceptable while those eating what they thought was ice cream found the taste salty and generally disgusting. [8] [37] For Blumenthal, this confirmed his ideas. "If something as simple as a name could make a dish appear more or less salty ... what effect might other cues have on flavours and our appreciation of them?" [8] :105 When he left school at eighteen, Blumenthal began an apprenticeship at Raymond Blanc's Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons but left after a week's probation. [8] :28 Over the next ten years he worked in a "relatively undemanding series of jobs – credit controller, repo man" [10] during the day, teaching himself the French classical repertoire in the evenings. A pivotal moment came when reading On Food and Cooking: the Science and Lore of the Kitchen by Harold McGee in the mid-1980s. This challenged kitchen practices such as searing meat to seal in the juices, and it encouraged Heston to "adopt a totally different attitude towards cuisine that at its most basic boiled down to: question everything".

The Features and Lifestyle Award for Heston's Victorian Feast – The Royal Television Society Awards 2009 [59]This dual-system approach give the Oracle the ability to handle making drinks in a very intuitive way. In other words, you don’t have to head to the milk frother to make an Americano. In January 2006, Blumenthal was appointed an OBE in the New Years Honours List for his services to British Gastronomy. [45] In 2002, Heston made a series of six half-hour television programmes, Kitchen Chemistry with Heston Blumenthal, which was transmitted on Discovery Science along with a book Kitchen Chemistry, published by the Royal Society of Chemistry. [ citation needed] During 2004–07, he presented two BBC series called Heston Blumenthal: In Search of Perfection and Heston Blumenthal: Further Adventures In Search of Perfection. [ citation needed] A steel milk jug is included and, since it uses a dual-boiler system, milk can be prepared at the same time you’re preparing the coffee. If you don’t want frother automation then the manual mode outputs a consistent stream of milk for a more traditional approach. Engineered by Heston Blumenthal, the ultimate food thinker and experimental chef, and Sage’s own engineers, the Sage by Heston Blumenthal range uses cleverly integrated functions to take the stress out of cooking. Their range of smart appliances, which includes kettles, toasters, and blenders, through to their ice cream maker and microwaves, has been exactingly considered to give you perfect results every time, all at the push of a button. Whether its prepping, boiling, whisking, whipping, grilling, cooking and baking, thanks to Heston and Sage, it has never been so easy.
