In this podcast exclusive, culinary icon Heston Blumenthal
reveals his recent diagnosis of bipolar disorder.

The mastermind behind the three Michelin-starred The Fat Duck is
renowned for his innovative, playful, and multi-sensory culinary
experiences. So it may not come as a surprise that he's also
ADHD.

In this episode, Ben takes a deep dive "Inside Heston’s World,"
unveiling a different side of the renowned chef. Heston candidly
discusses the highs and lows of bipolar disorder, his
hospitalisation, and how his manic episodes have fuelled his
imagination. He also explores the impact of ADHD on his culinary
experiments and occasional kitchen mishaps.
