The term "gastronaut" is believed to have been  coined by the British celebrity chef, Keith Floyd,  

who was renowned for his unconventional  and captivating cooking style. Floyd,  

who passed away in 2009, charmed  millions of viewers around the world,  

not just with his culinary skills but  also with his endearing eccentricities.

He was recognizable for his signature bow tie and  was known for engaging in light-hearted banter  

with his film crew while sipping wine during his  cooking shows. This unique approach, where he  

often drank wine while cooking, added a humorous  and relaxed element to his television appearances.

This behavior not only became a staple  of his shows but also influenced other  

celebrity chefs to adopt a more easygoing  style in their own cooking presentations.

Floyd was known for taking his cooking escapades  beyond the confines of a studio kitchen,  

venturing into diverse and sometimes challenging  environments to showcase his culinary talents.
