Chef and restaurateur Albert Roux, who brought great French cooking to the UK with his brother Michel, has died at the age of 85.
The pair made gastronomic history in 1982 when their London restaurant, Le Gavroche, became the first in Britain to earn three Michelin stars.
Gordon Ramsay, one of many leading chefs who earned their stripes in Le Gavroche's kitchen, led the tributes.
"So so sad the hear about the passing of this legend, the man who installed Gastronomy in Britain," Ramsay wrote on Instagram.
Marco Pierre White, Marcus Wareing, Pierre Koffman and Monica Galetti are among the other chefs who rose through the ranks at Le Gavroche.
