7 April 1962 – 16 May 2010.
I dedicate this book to Simon Kinder, a dear friend of mine who has sadly passed away. He was the Managing Director of Magimix UK and one of the very best and most loved figures in the food industry. He was certainly one of my favourite people to be around, and his passion for food and friendship was always appreciated. He’ll be sorely missed by me and my team, as well as all of his staff at Magimix. Our love goes out to his wonderful children, Max and Katya, their mother, Monica, and to all of his family.
