[Sca-cooks] Alan Davidson

[Johnna Holloway]

I knew but I wasn't sure how to report it.
He died less than a month after getting that major
European award.
It's one reason why I am going to Leeds this year.
So many of the older generation of food historians are
passing from the scene; it's time to go say hello and
how much I have enjoyed their work through the years.
