I don't know what to say about this. Keith is and was an inspiration; full of enthusiasm about food and drink (and The Stranglers); a man who lived life at full tilt, and died not knowing what an inspiration he was. That he thought that people aren't enthusiastic about cooking any more is the saddest thing of all.

In these days of relentless pressure to conform to government-prescribed five a day and 21 units, Floyd was unpalatable for modern TV. But, for me, nobody came close to having his joy and love for fabulous ingredients, well-sourced and simply cooked.

RIP Keith. Tonight I'm going to get rascally drunk and cook something in your honour.
