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

Young people can be disruptive and screw up classes. But even if they are being a pain in the arse it's a cry for help - they don't feel like they are being listened to.

But I read Catching Fire. I loved disappearing into a story.

Have you ever seen a really good chocolate dish & women? It affects women not like men. It’s incredible.

Now, everyone is excited about food - cooking, growing, learning - watching it on TV, buying books, trying things at home. It's the greatest time ever to be in food - which is why it's so hard to see so many people still relying on processed food. I am hoping that we had a generational blip - and that these young people will continue on and pass on their love of food and creativity to the next generation of kids.

Why would any sensible human being put meat filled with ammonia in the mouths of their children?

I've made a few nice dishes in my time, but this must be the best I've ever made.
