Famous Australian chef Peter Russell-Clarke dies

Celebrity chef Peter Russell-Clarke has died peacefully in Melbourne, aged 89. Mr Russell-Clarke was a cook, artist, writer and television icon, and had suffered complications following a stroke. He passed away on Friday, with his wife Jan and two children by his side. 'Adieu, Peter Russell-Clarke – the loveable larrikin artist and gentleman,' friend Beverley Pinder said in a statement. 'We know him best as one of Australia's first TV cooks. But Peter Russell-Clarke was a phenomenon – years ahead of his time.' 'His wife Jan was his backbone. A loveable, larrikin artist and gentleman of the art of relaxed cooking.' Born in 1935 in Ballarat, Mr Russell-Clarke was best known for his television cooking shows, and hosted a five-minute television show called Come and Get It. The show aired on the ABC for nine years during the 1980s, with 900 performances. The show aired just before The Goodies or Inspector Gadget. The chef commonly used phrases such as 'g'day', 'rippers' and 'you beauts' and of course, 'Where's the cheese?'. He was also a political cartoonist for The Melbourne Herald, and appeared in the 1983 film At Last … Bullamakanka: the Motion Picture alongside Derryn Hinch. Mr Russell-Clarke also ran a pop-up restaurant in Carlton, penned almost 40 recipe books and was a presenter for the Australian Dairy Corporation. He was also named a food ambassador for the UN. When he reached his 80s, he preferred to paint from his sprawling property on the outskirts of Melbourne. Friend Derryn Hinch described Mr Russell-Clarke as 'talented and a bit of a rogue'. 'He was our first TV cook, he was the egg man,'' Hinch told the Herald Sun. 'He taught me to put ground pepper on fresh strawberries, he wasn't adverse to trying new things. He once cooked steak for Prince Charles — he was very talented.'

Australian celebrity chef Peter Russell-Clarke dies aged 89

Television chef, author and artist Peter Russell-Clarke has died, aged 89. Family friend Belinda Pinder confirmed his death on Sunday afternoon. Reports suggested he died after complications from a stroke. Born in Ballarat in 1935, Russell-Clarke began his career at age 14, working a junior artist at an advertising agency, before moving into freelance cartooning and working as a food consultant for popular magazines, including New Idea and Woman's Day. He went on to produce his own cookbooks before shooting to wider fame through his catchy "g'days" which featured in the theme song of his 1980s ABC cooking show Come and Get it. The show ran from 1983 to 1992, with 900 episodes written and hosted by Russell-Clarke wearing his signature neckerchief. His appearances on Come and Get It made him one of Australia's pioneering TV celebrity chefs. "I realised that the bloke in front of the camera got more applause than the person who wrote it," he told the ABC in 2017. "So I wrote myself into the series and I became known as a cook rather than a painter or a writer." For more than two decades starting in the mid 70s, he was also a popular spokesperson and TV and radio presenter for the Australian Dairy Corporation, as well as for companies such as the Australian Egg Board and Kraft Cheese. Russell-Clarke was also the chef for the Prince of Wales's Silver Jubilee dinner in 1977. He was also invited to cook for Australian prime ministers, Victorian premiers, and the Duke of Edinburgh. He also wrote at least 35 cookbooks and was a United Nations food ambassador. As a child, displaced from his rural Victorian home after the separation of his parents, Russell-Clarke spent time in foster homes and, briefly, and on the streets of Melbourne, a period which he told SWILL magazine in 2023 led to his appreciation of fine food and different cuisines. But Russell-Clarke started painting long before his interest in the culinary arts grew. He worked as a commercial artist for about 65 years, including for 10 years as the political cartoonist for The Herald newspaper in Melbourne. In 2022, Russell-Clarke told the National Portrait Gallery about the similarities between his love for cooking and painting. "[While painting,] you're mucking around with colour, form, texture, shape. And with cooking, you're doing the same thing," he said. "Cooking is only supplying heat to food. The same as painting. Painting is supplying paint to a surface, whether it's a canvas or a piece of cardboard." His artworks have been featured in exhibitions in Australia and overseas, at private venues, auctioned at the Shepparton Art Museum and collected by the National Immigration Museum. Russell-Clarke was even commissioned to produce several pieces for the federal government. He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Jan, their two children Peter and Wendy, and three grandchildren. The ABC has contacted the family for comment.
