PoorSucker Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Went to a book signing with him in Stockholm, he had a glas of redwine. In 2009 he saw a documentary about his life with a friend, went upstairs and died in the sleep. Recommend all his cooking shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While back in the UK I recall a radio interview where he told the tale of cooking a beer mat for a customer who always said on finishing his meal `'Very nice, but.....`' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorSucker Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Think this is recorded 1992, aired 1993. So 25 years ago, not any pictures from the ring road. Banrak - bophut road End of fisherman village road. ThalingNam Road. Nathon is correct, remember that FujiSign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
