Exclusive: Wonderhood Studios, the production and advertising company launched by former Channel 4 CEO David Abraham, is cooking up its first commission – a BBC format featuring Michelin star chef Heston Blumenthal.
This comes a year after Abraham, who also used to run U.S. cable network TLC, set up the company.
Eat The Years will see The Times’ food critic and television presenter Giles Coren challenge Blumenthal, who has presented a slew of cooking shows for Channel 4 including How To Cook Like Heston and Heston’s Fantastical Food, to re-create the 2001 tasting menu from the latter’s revered The Fat Duck in Maidenhead outside of London. The documentary will feature a range of chefs that have worked with Blumenthal as well as front of house staff, food experts and celebrity guests for a one-off event.
The format has the potential to return with different chefs and restaurants.
