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.

Give your kids a bloody knife and fork and let me put some fresh food in front of them they can eat.

I love roasting because you can give it love, get it in the oven and go and play with the kids or whatever you've got to do, and then hours later you've got a lovely dinner.

40% of what I've done was a mistake. I now call it R&D.

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

The public health of five million children should not be left to luck or chance.

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.
