As Americans say in a different context -- thank you for your service.  Thank you very, very much.

I am sad.

I own three of his cookbooks which are well used.

Seems like he lived to a pretty good age...all that olive oil 😊

The closing paragraph from the above-linked article made me laugh:

 

Quote

Once, when asked what he would like to eat for his last meal, he replied: “Fusion cuisine and bastardized Italian food. Then, I wouldn’t be afraid to die.”

Very sad.  At quick count I have ten Bugialli books.  I know there is one I don't:  Maremma The Wild West of Tuscany.  I had been trying to find a copy; I even wrote Bugialli a couple of years ago but received no answer.
