i was asked to be on a panel with prof andrea sella, prof charles spence and christine cuskley as part of a sensory dinner at the edinburgh science festival. i had a really enjoyable evening and learned a lot. i presented exhale, which is 1/2 half of the 5 star perfume breath of god, during the 1st course to highlight the woody, peat flavours of the dish. for the finale, i presented vanilliary by gorilla perfume- and used vanilla fountain bath bombs from lush and talked about vanilla. in a nice coincidence, vanilla fountain was inspired by a lush outing to the the fat duck. prof charles spence works with heston blumenthal and made the soundscapes that the fat duck employs to enhance certain dishes.
