'Rest easy, Chef Anne,' he wrote alongside a photo of them. 'I'm so blessed I was able to work with you, learn from you, laugh with you. So many memories - on screen and off - I cherish this photo of us living our best lives, as the kids say. 'Anne loved this photo of us so I know she'd be happy I chose this one.' Burrell, who had been taking improv classes in the weeks before her death, developed a passion for cooking at a young age, inspired by her mother's home-cooked meals and by watching food icon Julia Child on television. After earning a degree in English and Communications from Canisius College in Buffalo in 1991, she followed her culinary dreams and enrolled at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, graduating in 1996. She worked at a whole host of New York City hotspots including Felidia and Savoy in Soho, where she honed her craft in Mediterranean cuisine. She was later thrust into the spotlight and became best known as the longtime host of Worst Cooks in America. The show, which ran for 28 seasons, saw celebrated chefs mentor amateur cooks in an attempt to transform them from rookies to kitchen experts. She also appeared on Chef Wanted, Chopped, Food Network Star, and most recently, competition series House of Knives - which premiered in March this year - and penned two of her own cookbooks: Cook Like a Rock Star and Own Your Kitchen: Recipes to Inspire & Empower.

"Anne's light radiated far beyond those she knew, touching millions across the world. Though she is no longer with us, her warmth, spirit, and boundless love remain eternal."

Celebrity chef Rachael Ray served as one of the bridesmaids at the wedding. "Everything was magical," Burrell said during a subsequent appearance on The Rachael Ray Show. "I was like, 'I want the fairy tale! I'm only going to be a bride once!'' "We wrote our own vows, which I thought were very cute and lovely, and then when it came to the time when they said I had to say, 'I do,' it just came out of me like, 'YES I DO!'" she continued. Burrell and Claxton gushed over their marriage and had nothing but sweet things to say about building their life together in their Brooklyn apartment. "I have to say, I love being married. We're together all the time because Stuart works from home. It's the being together all the time, but it's also the adventure together," Burrell told People in April 2023. Claxton agreed, saying marriage was 'wonderful' and he was enjoying wedded bliss. "Anne and I hadn't lived together before we moved in and got married, so it's been a whole adventure, but very lovely at the same time,' he told the outlet.

My stepson is home from college for the summer and he's working at the stand. He's slinging chicken parm and he's having a great time doing it. He's meeting cool people and making a few dollars.' During the COVID-19 pandemic, Javier helped his stepmother film cooking videos in her kitchen. One month prior to her death, Burrell posted a Mother's Day tribute to her mom and sister on Instagram. 'Happy HAPPY Mother's Day to my two VERY favorite Mothers- MY AMAZING mom and my sister @janeburrell326 !!' she captioned a May 2025 carousel of photos.
