Michel Roux (1941–2020) was a legendary chef and one of the world's greatest experts on French cuisine. At his renowned restaurant, The Waterside Inn at Bray, he held three Michelin stars for over three decades.

He held countless other culinary honours and he was awarded an OBE in 2002 and the Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur in 2004. He wrote many successful books, including Eggs (2005), Pastry (2007), Sauces (2009), Desserts(2011) and The Essence of French Cooking (2014), published by Quadrille. He appeared in several television series including, from time to time, Saturday Kitchen.
