OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Raymond Blanc OBE is recognised as one of the world’s finest chefs. Completely self-taught, his passion for cooking was inspired by the local terroir and his mother’s seasonal, wholesome family meals.
His hotel and restaurant, Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons in Great Milton, boasts 11 different gardens and a heritage orchard with 2,500 trees. The Raymond Blanc Gardening School teaches budding home gardeners and allotment owners how to grow their own food and cook with the seasons.
An acknowledged champion of sustainability, Raymond is the President of the Sustainable Restaurant Association (SRA), a not-for-profit organisation leading the industry in becoming more sustainable.
Oxford Botanic Garden & Arboretum has worked with Raymond Blanc for a number of years and is delighted to welcome him back as part of our Winter Lecture Series.
