I could cook from quite an early age - purely because I liked it.

There is not one thing we can do to fix the problem, it has to be an ambush!

I challenge you, to go to any school and open 50 lunchboxes, and I guarantee you there will be one or two cans of Red Bull, there'll be cold McDonald's and jam sandwiches with several cakes.

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

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 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 want Americans to enjoy food. I want them to celebrate food. I want them to, on occasions, to have big cakes and great things. And I want them to indulge.
