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

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

As soon as I was old enough to peer over the worktops, I remember being fascinated by what went on in the kitchen. It just seemed such a cool place, everyone working together to make this lovely stuff and having a laugh doing it.

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

Basically, we're taking a product that would be sold in the cheapest way for dogs, and after this process we can give it to humans.

I'm better with my hands, and I always loved the slightly romantic idea of starting with bits of wood and being able to create something to sit on, to eat from, to store your clothes in.

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