I'm not trying to take New York by storm. I just want to sneak in there, keep my head down, batten down the hatches and cook.

To have 95% of the ingredients sourced, food and wine, within 100 miles radius, that's a dream come true for any chef.

I didn't get depressed, I don't get depressed.

It's fascinating watching the debates [of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump], with the search for the new president. It's like a car crash, unfolding in front of your eyes. The level of personal attacks!

The issue I have is that the cooking techniques are up for questioning, today more than ever before. If you waterbath beef at 22-degrees for 12 hours, it may taste fantastic, but if you don't cook food at a high enough temperature, you risk not killing the bacteria. Things like that make me nervous of venturing into it.

I still love football, though, and I think cooking is like football. It's not a job, it's a passion. When you become good at it, it's a dream job and financially you need never to worry. Ever.

I cook, I create, I'm incredibly excited by what I do, I've still got a lot to achieve.
