He runs the Central restaurant - voted as the highest riser on this year’s World’s 50 Best Restaurants List, and took FDL on a very special trip with him to meet a community of female farmers and head foraging in the Sacred Valley of Peru.

The Taste of Colour
From Peru we stepped into the wacky and often surprising world of synaesthesia - a neurological cross wiring that cause certain people to taste colours, see sound or have certain flavours associated with words.
