Oranj Nov 2019 1:13pm, 27 Nov 2019 1,756 posts	0 Oranj I remember making quite a few recipes from his recipe book (the bread and butter pudding was superb!), until a previous Mrs Oranj took it with her. 59 is no age, such a shame.
geordiesanta Nov 2019 1:19pm, 27 Nov 2019 9,308 posts	0 geordiesanta So sad to hear this today. He was a big inspiration to me over the years making recipes achievable. We were only just talking about the TV/celeb chefs a couple of months ago and how we don’t see many of them now. Tragic to lose someone so young.

sallykate Nov 2019 7:56pm, 27 Nov 2019 6,220 posts	0 sallykate His New British Classics is a lovely cookbook; I once attempted his rhubarb tart and needless to say it was nowhere near as precise as his. The Yorkshire puddings recipe is thankfully more reproducible and works every single time. A very sad loss.

Meglet Nov 2019 10:51pm, 27 Nov 2019 20,657 posts	0 Meglet I hope it’s ok to also remember Clive James on this thread. I saw a tweet from Margarita Pracatan so ended up looking up a clip. It brought it all back! His brilliant dry humour and her unique singing style! https://youtu.be/VMOWwg_IoAw
