Egon Ronay, Britain's King Of Good Food, Dies At 94

Posted at 6:35AM Monday 14 Jun 2010

Egon Ronay, the dapper Hungarian food critic who stamped his name indelibly on British culinary history, has died at the age of 94.

Ronay died yesterday morning at his home near Yattendon, Berkshire, with his wife Barbara and two daughters by his side, having been ill for a number of weeks, according to his friend Nick Ross, the broadcaster. He had never retired and just a few weeks ago was telling friends about new projects he had in the pipeline with the BBC.
