I shoot from the hip.

There's a bond among a kitchen staff, I think. You spend more time with your chef in the kitchen than you do with your own family.

In order to create a little bit of confidence, start cooking with pasta. Pasta is phenomenal. Once you've cooked pasta properly for the first time it becomes second nature.

I don't think it's a good advert for any restaurant, a fat chef, and secondly, who wants to eat a dessert when the chef's a fat pig.

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

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

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