Fergus Henderson and Trevor Gulliver opened London’s St. JOHN Smithfield in 1994. The restaurant was to become one of the most influential restaurants internationally in terms of cuisine, design and philosophy, making Fergus both a food hero and one of the most significant chefs in the world. The accolades are many, with a long-held Michelin Star, a collection of lifetime achievement awards, a place on many global restaurant rankings and more. Fergus’ books have remained in permanent publication since his first, Nose to Tail Eating, was published in 1999 going on to be named in the LA Times as the world’s most influential cookbook. St. JOHN is more than a restaurant – it is an icon.
