Keith Floyd - A life lived to the full

KEITH FLOYD’S showmanship and love of food and his understanding that it, allied to a good wine, could do more than most anything else to foster human relationships made him the first truly successful TV chef of our time.

Because of him, and Darina, and Rachel, and Antony, and Jamie, and Rick and Nigella and Richard and Delia and all the rest of today’s you-can-too foodies, we now have expectations surrounding diet, food and eating that our parents never imagined possible.

By sharing this love Keith Floyd encouraged us all to be more confident and assertive in the kitchen, the market, the restaurant and the wine shop. He enriched the lives of those who listened to him. Though his life was dogged by drink, we should all celebrate his life in a way he would enjoy. Cheers Keith.
