Michael Barry is a British chef and television personality who was a regular co-presenter on the BBC2 television show 'Food and Drink' in the late-80's and 90's. He is sometimes known as 'The Crafty Chef' for his frequent use of the adjective 'crafty' to describe his cooking technique. He has written several books on cooking, including Michael Barry's Food and Drink cookbook. BBC Two (or BBC2 as it was formerly styled) was the second UK television station to be aired by the BBC and Europes first television channel to broadcast regularly in colour (from 1967), envisaged as a home for less mainstream and more ambitious programming. ...
Chef’s last name suggests he is at least partially of some Celtic descent, and indeed his parents live in a castle in Scotland.
The fate of the Chef character was revealed in the Season 10 premiere, in which voice clips taken from previous episodes were linked together to form new dialogue to support the plot of "The Return of Chef".
Chef's body is then secretly recovered by the Super Adventure Club, who manage to revive him as a "Darth" Chef, mimicking the ending to Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith.
Michael brought her 1932 recipe for 20 puddings to Australia, and when he was Professor of Biology at Sydney University he made small puddings for his staff in the Pitman family tradition.
Michael, at nine years of age, was in sole charge of his brother on this journey, as his mother was fully occupied with the new baby who suffered from the disability of Downes Syndrome.
Michael was not a supporter of a centralist approach in Government to science and technology and he saw his role as largely one of coordination.
