Blumenthal recognised at Craft Guild of Chefs Awards

Celebrity chef Heston Blumenthal has won the top accolade at this year's Craft Guild of Chefs Awards.

The awards held last night at the Hilton hotel on London's Park Lane also saw another 13 chefs take home an award, seen as the 'industry's Oscars'.

Speaking about his award, Blumenthal said he was honoured to be recognised: "I was under the impression I was here to present an award. I've got so much from this industry and I'm a firm believer in young chefs, so even just presenting an award is a huge opportunity for me to give something back. I think it's brilliant and I'm delighted to win."
