I am the most unselfish chef in Britain today.

It's quite weird knocking that out of them and telling them to forget cooking for chefs; forget what chefs say about your food.

They say cats have nine lives. I've had 12 already and I don't know how many more I'll have.

Growing up in Britain, we didn't have much, worked for everything. To leave food on the plate, Mom classed it as being rude and so we ate because we were hungry, not ate because we had a choice in the fridge.

[ Full English breakfast] it's what we grew up with! It is the one big treat that the kids get on the weekend - it's good family time.

When you find a guy who is powerful, a big father figure, you latch onto him immediately.

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.
