I actually quite like [social media]. It's spontaneous, you don't really have to commit to it and I enjoy the interaction. Also, I have never sworn on there, not once.

Chefs are nutters. They're all self-obsessed, delicate, dainty, insecure little souls and absolute psychopaths. Every last one of them.

Kitchens are hard environments and they form incredibly strong characters.

It's amazing. Long Island, I don't know really. It's quite a fascinating area.

I'm a big lover of fish. Cooking fish is so much more difficult than cooking protein meats, because there are no temperatures in the medium, rare, well done cooking a stunning sea bass or a scallop.
