Australian celebrity chef Greg Malouf, best known for his guest appearances on Masterchef, has died aged 64.
Former Masterchef Australia judge George Calombaris shared the heartbreaking news with his followers on Saturday in an Instagram post of Malouf in a chef outfit.
He wrote in the caption: ‘Along with so many today is a sad day for us all. We loss a giant of a human, Greg Malouf.
‘A beautiful man. Yes an amazing chef. I send love to his family and strength.
I will miss the banter of all things Greek v Lebanese food. RIP great man. See you on the other side. Gc.’
The renowned Melbourne chef became the second person in Victoria to receive a second heart transplant, 21 years earlier.
The self-proclaimed ‘Modern Middle Eastern Master’ was a Michelin star chef who worked as a global chef consultant.

Tributes have already started to flood in for the chef.
‘The master of Middle Eastern cuisine, a beautiful man. Deepest condolences to his loved ones. RIP Greg Malouf!’ @georgekasimatis commented on Instagram.
