Peter Russell-Clarke passed away on 4 July, 2025 at the age of 89. He was Australia's first celebrity chef who extended his influence far beyond the kitchen.
He had a penchant for expression that was endeared by many. This was highlighted by his catchphrases 'G'day', 'Ripper', and 'you beauts.' He was an entertaining larrikin to watch with a habit of swearing that made him stand out from informational cooking shows.
