Russell Norman (9 December – 23 November ) was a British restaurateur, chef, teacher and author.[1] In the early s, he gained a unique reputation and identity as "the coolest man in food".

Early life
Russell Norman was born on 9 December in Perivale, Ealing, West London, one of six sons.[5]
He grew up in the Twickenham suburbs and attended the Heathland School in Hounslow, West London.
There, he excelled at drama,[6] and later studied English at the University of Sunderland.[7]
Norman's fondness for Shakespeare came to supersede his interest in sport, to his family's bemusement. Russell portrayed himself as the "black sheep of the family".[7]
