I am a chef who happens to appear on the telly, that's it.
As a soccer player, I wanted an FA Cup winner's medal. As an actor you want an Oscar. As a chef it's three-Michelin's stars, there's no greater than that. So pushing yourself to the extreme creates a lot of pressure and a lot of excitement, and more importantly, it shows on the plate.
You don't come into cooking to get rich.
I am well aware that a chef is only as good as his last meal.
You know how arrogant the French are - extraordinary.
Kitchens are hard environments and they form incredibly strong characters.
