But you won't be able to click over and surf through his archives just yet.

The chef of Fat Duck in Britain is putting his research, notes, recipes and photographs online, using a wiki-style system. He and his two sets of staff do "research" and "experiments" in their kitchen laboratory, which Blumenthal would like to keep for posterity. He agrees with Ferran Adria of El Bulli in Spain, who told him that "they were trying to log information, because you are involved in something that is changing the face of gastronomy."

Eventually, he says he would leave the archives to the country. Perhaps a library. For now, only Blumenthal and his staff will be able to access the online files with varying levels of security.
