I profoundly believe that the power of food has a primal place in our homes that binds us to the best bits of life.

I left school with basically nothing, I was a special needs kid. I did feel as though my school had let me down.

I think food culture is always evolving, and there will constantly be people looking both forward and back. That's what makes it exciting.

I wish for everyone to help create a strong, sustainable movement to educate every child about food, inspire families to cook again and empower people everywhere to fight obesity.

I like ties but I prefer not to wear one when I'm nervous.

My life is really so much based in England.

I wouldn't say that processed food, ready meals and even takeaways aren't relevant to modern life, it's just that over the past 40 years there are three generations of people who have come out of school and gone through their home life without ever being shown how to cook properly.
