Keith Floyd RIP

Thread Starter: Chef de Maison    Started: Tue 15 Sep 2009    Replies: 6

Sad news today that Keith Floyd has died aged 65. What a man and what a life! He was a great lover of food, wine and fun. Made money and lost it again and again, but all the time giving cooks like myself an insight into food and wine while being very entertaining. I was lucky to meet him in a London pub off Tottenham Court Road in London one lunchtime back in the 90's, where he was waiting for a TV producer who was late. I offered him a drink which he turned into a bottle and we talked for the 15 minutes it took to empty the bottle. Then he got a message and left with a cheery wave and thanks for the wine. I can see him now. Hope he rests in peace.

He is a legendary figure up there with Delia and the Rouxs - a great loss.

May he rest in peace @>--->------

He will be remembered by all the tv chefs and the public. He was one of the first cooks on tv who became very popular. He had a sense of humour that is lacking today. God bless you. Cry

Very sad. I was watching a programme about him only last night on Channel 4. It made uncomfortable viewing as he was a shadow of his former self physically. A real bon viveur and a hard act to follow. RIP
