In theory, capturing the work of [genius chef](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensory-dining-experience) Heston Blumenthal through still photography should be a impossible task. However, photographer Dominic Davies has managed to do this with some of the most [amazing food photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/menusnap) I have ever seen.

The [cookbook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marchesi-1824) in which Dominic Davies’ work appears, “The Big Fat Duck,” is most certainly a book which will be too glossy and gorgeous to let anywhere near a kitchen (just in case you get some food on it).
