Food's delicate. You have to handle it with finesse. You can't just be a big ogre.

I love to roast vegetables - carrots, fennel, and so on. I also love to mash or puree pretty much any vegetable!

I don't think of being a woman in an industry of men. I didn't walk into the kitchen and go, 'Ooh, I'm a girl!' I didn't get into my chosen profession. I wanted to be good at something.

I'm not the type of person to eat big hunks of meat. I think people are starting to realize that great things come in small batches.

I adore pigs, and I love eating them and cooking them, and I love using the whole animal.

Food's delicate. You have to handle it with finesse. You can't just be a big ogre.

Always look for the best ingredients, treat the food you cook with respect, always read the entire recipe first, be organized, and have fun.
