A proponent of nose-to-tail dining, Henderson advocates using “the whole beast” in cooking. His London restaurant St. John opened in 1994 and boldly made offal the star attraction, with dishes such as grilled marinated calf's heart.
The lifetime achievement accolade recognises 53-year-old Henderson's influence on British and global cuisine.
Henderson has published three cookbooks on nose-to-tail eating and is an award-winning food writer. He was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in the late nineties.
The Diners Club Lifetime Achievement is part of the World's 50 Best Restaurants Awards, sponsored by S.Pellegrino and Acqua Panna. Previous recipients include Thomas Keller and Alain Ducasse. The World's 50 Best Restaurants Awards will be announced in London on April 28.
