I think there are definitely two types of student: the academic kids and the 50% who fail. It's very clear to see - it's fact. We're not doing enough for those who fail; they need a more physical, tactile approach, involving people skills, team-building, problem-solving, building things.

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

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

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

As usual, my timing is bizarrely good.
