Chef and TV personality Anne Burrell, best known for her numerous appearances on the Food Network, has died. She was 55.
Burrell, a recognizable figure on the culinary channel thanks to her spiky platinum blonde hairdo and tart wit, died on June 17 at her home in New York, according to a press release from the Food Network. A cause of death was not disclosed.
The New York-bred chef made her Food Network debut in 2005 on the cutthroat competition series “Iron Chef America,” serving as a sous chef for Iron Chef Mario Batali. She also hosted the shows “Secrets of a Restaurant Chef” and “Worst Cooks in America.”
“Anne was a remarkable person and culinary talent — teaching, competing and always sharing the importance of food in her life and the joy that a delicious meal can bring,” a Food Network spokesperson said in a statement. “Our thoughts are with Anne’s family, friends and fans during this time of tremendous loss.”
Burrell is survived by her mother Marlene, her sister Jane, and her husband Stuart Claxton, whom she married in October 2021, as well Claxton’s son Javier.
“Anne was a beloved wife, sister, daughter, stepmother, and friend,” her family said in a statement. “Her smile lit up every room she entered. Anne’s light radiated far beyond those she knew, touching millions across the world.
Though she is no longer with us, her warmth, spirit, and boundless love remain eternal.”
