Michelin ‘Cheese on Toast’ at Home
How can something as simple as cheese on toast earn a Michelin star?
In this video, we break down Welsh rarebit — the iconic British dish made famous by St. John restaurant — and show how it becomes so much more than just cheese on toast. Inspired by Fergus Henderson’s nose-to-tail philosophy and stripped-back approach to fine dining, this is our home version of a legendary Michelin-starred classic.
