If you can eat with mates or friends or family, I mean, it's such a brilliant thing isn't it? If you feel really rubbish and you have a nice bit of food it makes you feel good, you know?

All I ever wanted to do was to make food accessible to everyone; to show that you can make mistakes - I do all the time - but it doesn't matter.

God, why do I give interviews to 'the Guardian'? They always try to dissect you, and I don't really think about stuff in the way that you're asking me these questions.

The best food I've ever eaten in my life has come from the poorest communities.

I'm probably a bit romantic about it, but I think we humans miss having contact with fire. We need it.

It's not the extremes and the treats that are the problem. It's the everyday.
