But quite honestly I can't help being a passionate football supporter. If that's my sin, I'm guilty

Memories are fallible and a timer can save a lot of hard work from going out of the window

Hopefully people will be inspired to cook. It's my mission to persuade people not to be afraid of cooking.

Football is becoming all about money. I would like to be in a lift with Gordon Brown and say, 'Please do something about football.'

I cannot for the life of me understand what the Minister Of Transport does every day. He goes to the office at 9am and leaves at 5pm and the traffic in London is still horrendous.

I don't get insomnia, but I do get the odd night when I can't unwind.

Getting into the habit of switching a timer on will, I promise, save you from any number of kitchen disasters.
