Someone sent me a picture of my name that was tattooed on their a***! The first thing I said was, the least you could have done was spell it properly!

I am the most unselfish chef in Britain today.

Two key ingredients in any successful chef: a quick learner and someone with a sharp brain.

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

If everyone could just cook properly I wouldn't have a problem.

The pressure on young chefs today is far greater than ever before in terms of social skills, marketing skills, cooking skills, personality and, more importantly, delivering on the plate. So you need to be strong. Physically fit. So my chefs get weighed every time they come into the kitchen.

Push your limit to the absolute extreme.
