Thanks Keith for making cooking, eating & drinking such fun!

Other places will say much more, more eloquently than I can about Keith Floyd. Suffice it to say that he seemed to me to have it right. Loads of us got into cooking because people like Keith made it look fun, sexy and exciting. And there were no solemn lectures about food hygiene or health and safety. Just copious quantities of alcohol! To be sure 65 is no age these days - but isn't it better to live those years to the full? Keith Floyd appeared to do this and has left a legacy - thousands of people like me who are cooking and enjoying food, trying new ingredients and not worrying too much about measurement, precision or the rules of cordon bleu cheffery.

Thanks Keith! I'll be eating good and raising a glass or six in your memory!
