He was definitely seeing red after that was thrown in his eyes!

He's in his 80s? He looks like he's in his mid-60s to me.

Article behind the Times paywall on Andrew Fairlie's cancer battle:

Andrew Fairlie, a pick of my B-Team, is Scotland's most esteemed chef. Has anybody access to the whole thing and can tell me whether he was a good pick?

He was diagnosed with it after seizures in 2005. Only 2/3rds of the tumour is operable, and has been removed. He is undergoing what sounds like permanent chemo to keep the rest under control (and has had chemo so long he's acclimatized to it and no longer gets sick). He postponed chemo last year for a bit to climb Kilimanjaro, but is back on it. He still works full time.

 

Quote

I make the mistake of assuming he is off active treatment and in remission. “I’m actually having chemo just now,” he tells me. “It is always something that is going to be there. I know at some point it is going to become more aggressive. It is just the nature of the tumour I have got.”

Celebrity chefs are all a bunch of rancid c*nts that need puting into an industrial meat grinder so that they become edible for pigs.

Well maybe Id leave The Galloping Gourmet out of it because he was pretty good.

That apart, Keith Floyd died and those other wankers are still with us.

Life really isnt fair, is it.

Deep fried in batter, of course.

A chef who I don't think has been mentioned on DL before is Japanese sushi maestro Jiro Ono, 91.  He'd definitely obit but probably isn't going anywhere soon, as he's still preparing and dishing up his wares in person at his Tokyo restaurant.   

 

Ono was the star of the critically acclaimed documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi.

Lorenza de Medici - Italian. She must be fairly ancient now but I can't find any age or health info online

6 years later she is still going strong and I just found out she was born back in 1926.

My boy Antonio Carluccio looking OK at his 80th birthday celebrations here, it'll be a sad day when there's just one greedy Italian left.

This also means that he wasn't born in 1935 as the opening post says.

I was looking at this cookbook in a shop yesterday:

The Citroen on the cover had actually belonged to Keith Floyd. His daughter sold it to James Martin. Martin claims that when he sat in it for the first time, he could still smell the odour of Floyd's booze inside.
