Michael Bukht OBE (born 10 September 1941, in Kent) is a British chef and television personality who was a regular co-presenter on the BBC2 television show Food and Drink under the pseudonym Michael Barry.
From 1967 to 1997 he was the Programme controller for Capital Radio, GWR Group Radio, Classic FM, Jamaica Broadcasting and the Principal of the National Broadcasting School. The first programme controller of Capital Radio and of Classic FM, he has also worked for Kent's Invicta FM.
He spent time during the early 80's on the Wild Coast of the now defunct Republic of Transkei, setting up the now defunct Capital Radio 604, where he moonlit as the Capital Crafty Cook. He is widely regarded by many South African broadcasters who worked under his tutelage as having mentored a generation of highly professional radio presenters. Inane patter was his nemesis. His mantra: "If you've nothing to say, segway!" (see segue)
He is perhaps best known by the public as a regular co-presenter on the BBC2 television show Food and Drink in the late-80's and 90's where he was the series' regular chef. He is sometimes known as 'The Crafty Chef' for his frequent use of the adjective 'crafty' to describe his cooking technique. He has written several books on cooking, including Michael Barry's Food and Drink cookbook.
A practising Muslim, he still lives in Kent
