Being assertive and somewhat really firm has to be backed up with being fair.

Swearing is industry language. For as long as we're alive it's not going to change. You've got to be boisterous to get results.

I'm actually not really a breakfast person.

I train my chefs completely different to anyone else. My young girls and guys, when they come to the kitchen, the first thing they get is a blindfold. They get blindfolded and they get sat down at the chef's table... Unless they can identify what they're tasting, they don't get to cook it.

Cooking is about passion, so it may look slightly temperamental in a way that it's too assertive to the naked eye.

Kitchens are hard environments and they form incredibly strong characters.

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.
