I suppose I might be a player-coach nowadays. I'm a great teacher, and I enjoy teaching. But I'm glad I got injured and ended up turning to cooking. It was an accident but the happiest one of my life.

Stopping the junk food and Eating well is partially about cooking well and having the skills to do that.

I came up from a difficult background.

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.

However amazing a dish looks, it is always the taste that lingers in your memory. Family and friends will appreciate a meal that tastes superb-even if you've brought the pan to the table.

I've always said that I think females make the best chefs anywhere in the world.

I'd like to think I'm a great teacher.
