We are about creating a new wave of talent. We are the Manchester United of kitchens now. Am I playing full-time in the kitchen? I am a player-coach.

If you want to become a great chef, you have to work with great chefs. And that's exactly what I did.

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

If everyone could just cook properly I wouldn't have a problem.

If my last supper was ever going to be cooked by a chef, it would have to be Thomas Keller.

MasterChef Junior for me was about working closely with these kids and getting them to reeducate their parents to understand that food is as important educationally as Math and English and it's important that we don't take it for granted.

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