Keith Floyd Dies

September 15, 2009

“He was an individual, he was a maverick, he was mercurial, he was magical, he was special, he was rare.”

- Marco Pierre White

Keith Floyd has died of a heart attack at the age of 65.

For me - an inspiration and pioneer has passed away and it is sad indeed.

I fell in love with the idea of cooking and drinking wine because of him.

Some of my fondest memories include sitting with my whole family in the lounge, huddled together, watching his wine fueled antics.

I think it’s worth cracking open a bottle of wine tonight in tribute to the man.
