The living ones are aged 66-91 (Iron Chef meaning the original Japanese television cooking show - Not the UK one, the US one, the Canadian one, etc. The Iron Chefs in those shows are also much younger.)

She must be fairly ancient now but I can't find any age or health info online which is a surprise since her shows were fairly prominent here in Australia back in the 1990s. Anyone know how she is going? ***** Perennially fairly ancient Italian cookbook author and TV host Lorenza de' Medici died back in June at 97, received a NYT obituary in August. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
