As a culinary figure, Jock Zonfrillo reached the highest peaks in Australia, his adopted homeland. He won national and international awards, and went on to become a television star with a coveted judging spot on MasterChef. However the life of the chef and television personality, who died on 30 April at age 46, had great lows, both private and public.
Zonfrillo, whose legal name is Barry, was raised in Ayr, Scotland. His father, Ivan, was a barber, and his paternal grandparents had migrated to Scotland from Italy, while his mother Sarah’s family were farmers in Scotland.
