Anne Burrell was an American chef, TV personality, and culinary educator known for her dynamic energy and signature spiky blonde hair.

Burrell cut her teeth in esteemed kitchens like Felidia under Lidia Bastianich and Savoy in Soho, honing her Italian cooking style. She launched her TV career in 2005 as Mario Batali’s sous chef on "Iron Chef America." In 2008 she began hosting "Secrets of a Restaurant Chef" (nine seasons), followed by her starring role on the long‑running hit "Worst Cooks in America" starting in 2010.

A bestselling author, she wrote Cook Like a Rock Star and Own Your Kitchen. She also competed on shows like "Chopped All-Stars" and hosted "Chef Wanted," earning acclaim for her ability to teach home cooks to master restaurant-quality dishes.

Anne passed away on June 17,  2025, at age 55, at her Brooklyn home. Her influence endures, from mentoring struggling home cooks to championing simple, respectful Italian cooking.
