I know the crew so well, so I forget I'm being filmed. It's like cooking with a friend in the kitchen - you're talking, as you do, and maybe you're telling her about this wonderful way to prepare lamb chops - it's more natural, more honest.

I am not sure about facelifts because I wouldn't want to be someone who just looks like she's had a facelift.

Cooking is actually quite aggressive and controlling and sometimes, yes, there is an element of force-feeding going on.

In fact I am quite snappy and irritable, and I don't know if I'd like to make myself worse in that respect.

If I could go into the woods and kill a bear myself, I'd wear it proudly as a trophy.

I'm not someone who's endlessly patient and wonderful.

I was brought up an atheist and have always remained so. But at no time was I led to believe that morality was unimportant or that good and bad did not exist. I believe passionately in the need to distinguish between right and wrong and am somewhat confounded by being told I need God, Jesus or a clergyman to help me to do so.
