Take one top restaurant...

...add an American secondee with a blog and you get: phatduck.

And it's not just a top restaurant, but, according to Restaurant magazine, the best restaurant in the world: The Fat Duck at Bray in Berkshire, UK.

Dana Bickford is a baker from Seattle 'filling a two month stage' in the kitchens. Not all of her posts will necessary be of interest, but those about food and how the kitchens work are (even if the wide-eyed glee of working there palls occasionally).

Of course, what I would really like to see is a blog from Heston Blumenthal himself. In the meantime I will have to do with his weekly columns in the Guardian.
