Pioneer: Little pictured in the 1980s
(Picture: Rex Features)Alastair Little, a pioneering chef who is widely considered the “godfather of modern British cooking” has died. He is believed to have been 72.
The chef helped usher in a style whereby he fused simple, seasonal cooking with influences from across Europe, most notably Italy. It is a style that has gone on to influence a great swathe of restaurants since, and continues to be mimicked by restaurants today.
