My childhood favourite is mum's shepherd's pie, Yorkshire pudding and roasted potatoes. I remember coming home from school and going to the kitchen to help her. It's because of her that I discovered my love for cooking.

Having four kids of my own, fifth one on the way... I think with "Junior," what's happened over the last three years is this program's been implemented across schools.

I think pressure's healthy, and very few can handle it.

When you have the arrogance, the confidence and you can't cook, then you're only going to look stupid.

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

Best to start at the bottom & gradually climb up. It's much more fun, too.

I hid myself in food.
