James Barber (March 23, 1923 – November 29, 2007) was an English-born Canadian cookbook author and host of ''The Urban Peasant'', a CBC cooking show. Barber worked as an engineer before becoming a food critic for ''The Province''. He immigrated to Canada in 1952. His lifelong interest in food and writing and his increased knowledge in these areas naturally led him to become a cookbook author. Following his retirement, he spent his remaining years on his farm in British Columbia's Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island. An energetic and passionate man with a large personality, Barber strove to empower others to do things for themselves. Barber was married twice and fathered five children; 3 sons and 2 daughters. Perhaps fittingly, Barber died peacefully on November 29, 2007, at his farm of natural causes while sitting at the dining room table reading a cookbook with a pot of chicken soup simmering on the stove.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = CBCNews.ca )〕 He was 84 years old and is survived by his wife and five children. ==TV appearances== *''The Fry Pan Man'', host *''The Dini Petty Show'', frequent appearances *''The Urban Peasant'', host 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「James Barber (author)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
