Michel Roux never did things in haste. He was over 40 when he married the great love of his life, and Michel Roux: The Collection waited until the age of 59 to write his autobiography. He adopted the same scrupulous care when it came to weighing the merits, or otherwise, of the TV chefs who had followed in his pioneering footsteps. But the observations, when they came, were as breathtaking as the prices at the Waterside Inn, his glorious three Michelin-starred establishment on the banks of the Thames at Bray in Berkshire. Roux, the French-born gourmand and restaurateur who has died aged 78, had every right to Michel Roux: The Collection judgment. With his brother, Albert, he changed the way the world felt about British food. Together, the Roux brothers brought Paris-style fine dining to the capital and their culinary influence and gastronomy leaves an enduring legacy. His views on that generation were often as beautifully crafted as his delicious dishes. As for Jamie Oliver, he was barely worth commenting on. So what of Marco, that other enfant terrible of the kitchen? Praise indeed — but the hot-headed Marco did not always reciprocate. But then, he had earned his place at the very top of the culinary tree. For more than half a century, his were the standards any aspiring chef looked up to. There were four children — Michel, Albert and their sisters Liliane and Martine. Sometimes I burnt myself. We were the sort of family who would be talking about dinner while we were eating lunch. At that time, France was divided and occupied by the Germans. By then Liliane, the eldest, was working in the charcuterie and life was tough. Because of his father, a gambler who followed the credo of communists and socialists, Roux had a lifelong aversion to Left-wing politics indeed, in he threatened to leave the UK Michel Roux: The Collection Labour tax plans. His mother eventually decided to move the family to Paris for a new start. She scratched a living making sausages, hot dogs and hamburgers to sell in a market. Both brothers knew that food would be their future. Michel Roux: The Collection 14, Albert left school and was apprenticed to a patissier. Michel later followed him. While still a teenager, he went to work in the kitchen of the British Embassy in Paris as a pastry cook. Michel Roux: The Collection was there that the seeds of his lifelong interest in Britain were sown — and where he Michel Roux: The Collection exposed to such culinary eccentricities as kedgeree, Christmas pudding and Stilton cheese. Soon after, he moved into private catering as commis-chef to the French branch of the Rothschild family. The mistress of this household was the formidable hostess Cecile de Rothschild, the companion and protector of reclusive Hollywood star Greta Garbo. The Queen Mother was coming to stay at their home near Tonbridge in Kent and they desperately needed Michel Roux: The Collection cook. Seven years later they had a Michelin star, the first of many. In they acquired an old pub in Bray which was to become the iconic Waterside Inn. He was a zealot, in a sense, and there was a lot of local opposition In the end he educated us all. Byboth restaurants had secured two Michelin stars. Other establishments were opened but the Waterside and Le Gavroche remained the prize venues. The brothers also launched the Roux Scholarship, hoping to pass on their passion for food and cooking to aspiring young Michel Roux: The Collection.

  • Tim Russell's 50 Recommended London Restaurants
    Tim Russell’s 50 recommended London restaurants I have had the opportunity of writing a few restaurant reviews over the years and I am often asked for recommendations in London especially from friends outside town. Anyway, with a natural bias to West London where I live, I thought it might be fun to put a list of my 50 favourite London restaurants onto my website in case it assists you in choosing a lunch or night out in town. Some sad recent departures in these covid times such as Le Caprice and The Ledbury ( both exceptional over the years ) but in the difficult world of today London is now one of the world’s top cities to dine out in . Some wonderful experiences and a fun if difficult task to name a top 50 but here it is . The restaurants have been set out in alphabetical order and split between the more expensive and the less expensive 25 in each and 5 in each in bold to highlight my personal favourites ) I do accept many are for special occasions. All very subjective of course so, as they say, don’t blame the juggler if you disagree with any recommendations. But hope you do enjoy some of these experiences. ££ 1 Angler 3 South Place, EC2. tel 32151260.
