The renowned Roux Family - a culinary dynasty stamped with indelible excellence - have knitted their gastronomical heritage into the tapestry of British food culture. At the epicentre, brothers Michel and Albert Roux were born into a family of charcutiers in Charolles, Burgundy, and embarked on cooking careers which led them to become two of the most influential figures in UK cuisine. Animating the spirit of French gastronomy, they launched Le Gavroche in Chelsea, London, in 1967, Britain's first restaurant to be awarded one, two, and then three Michelin stars. Soon after, they opened the Waterside Inn in Bray-on-Thames that has maintained three Michelin stars for an impressive span of 35 years. Blending culinary instruction with mass entertainment, the Roux lineage have also left substantial imprints on television. Michel Roux Jr, the son of Albert Roux, has become a familiar face on various cookery programmes such as 'MasterChef: The Professionals', 'Saturday Kitchen' and 'Food & Drink'. His charismatic on-screen presence and fervent dedication to the promotion of culinary skills has earned him a special place in the heart of British viewers. Success is a family affair for the Roux's, as Michel Jr's daughter Emily Roux has also pursued a culinary career and owns Caractere, a fine dining restaurant in Notting Hill. Undoubtedly, the Roux family has fortified their standing as the torchbearers of French culinary artistry in the UK - an emblem of excellence soothing the British palate for over half a century.
