    About the only human being that was a TV celeb chef.

    He also made normal food - served on plates - that you actually wanted to eat. Seemed like a nice man too.

    Rick Stein would have something to say about that

    And you'll find there are many TV Celeb chefs today

    I always enjoyed watching his shows. When having spiked hair was edgy for a tv chef.
    He did seem really nice.
    I bought one of his cook books in a charity shop a few years ago and was impressed with a lot of the recipes.

    Always struck me as a very skilled chef, while other chefs were running around the kitchen like headless chickens (no pun intended) he was able to conjure up great dishes with a real deft touch and the minimum of effort.

    Eek! That’s a shock. No age really. Wouldn’t have been my favorite TV chef, but not the worst either. Remember he had a restaurant near Capel St for a few years. RIP.

    Bit harsh, no ? I know he grates (pun absolutely intended) on some people but I think his heart is generally in the right place, and a lot of his food would inspire you to want to try make it, unlike some of the TV chefs.

    All these celebrity chefs have died off really TV wise no pun intended. Seems there out of fashion now I'm going by the BBCs schedule. I liked Gary seemed kind of serious and a more traditional chef RIP.

    I'm sorry but it is quite the opposite. I can name at least 5 or 6 TV Celeb chefs that are regularly on screen. When i was growing up, there was maybe one or two

    Very sad news. RIP.

    Oh Christ. That is shocking. He was a guest critic on the Restaurant on RTÉ & presumably on VM some years ago.

    59 is no age to die. R.I.P. :(
