TV chef Jenny Morris' husband dies of Covid-19
Together the couple published half a dozen sought-after recipe books, opened two restaurants, and started a cooking school and catering company in 1997 - CooksPlayground, situated in Green Point's Cape Quarter in Cape Town.
With her decades-long career in the cooking industry, Jenny appeared on several TV and radio shows. She's written newspaper and magazine columns, and in 2011 she became the first South African with a cooking show on Discovery Inc.'s Food Network broadcast globally as she continued doing presentations as a regular food festival fixture.
A few days later, she said:"David is still under the caring hands of the doctors. Heart is a little better... kidney a little better and infection markers are a little better. My heart is singing. I shall pray all night long no matter how small the better is, I'm praying for every single little bit of better."
On Wednesday, she broke the news that David had died."It is with great sadness that the Morris family announces the passing of David Phillip Henry Morris at the age of 69," the family said in a statement."David passed away on Tuesday evening due to Covid-19 complications. He was a husband, brother, uncle, father, mentor and role model. He will be sorely missed by his family and close friends. David's family requests privacy during the time of mourning.
Earlier this month, Jenny Morris warned the public about the dangers of Covid-19, saying:"The third wave is upon us! Remember, your actions have a direct impact on those around you. Mask up, disinfect, and maintain social distance protocols. Covid does not discriminate!"In times of uncertainty you need journalism you can trust.
