chef extraordinaire

A true Renaissance man, patron of the opera, collector of fine wines, chef extraordinaire, mentor and friend to all, and a country gentleman of Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

Dahlia employs the French chef extraordinaire Anatole since stealing him from Rosie M. Banks (Mrs Bingo Little) with the help of Jeeves.

He appeared as Inspector Henry Crabbe, disillusioned policeman and pie chef extraordinaire, in the British detective drama Pie in the Sky, a role which was created specifically for him.

Inside, we learned the saucy history of its 75-year-old namesake, Pat Huval: He was Henderson's first mayor, a restaurateur in three different places (the first two burned down), frequently married and a self-proclaimed chef extraordinaire.

Now there's a sight you don't see every day, Restaurateur and Chef Extraordinaire Raymond Blanc, the man who sets culinary trends at up to £70 a head, queueing up for a school dinner in Oxfordshire.

She employed chef extraordinaire Anatole until Aunt Dahlia stole him from her with the help of Jeeves (in "Clustering Round Young Bingo"), and is thus unlikely to write further for Mrs Travers.
