I'm a bit of a glutton - I eat too much of all that is good to eat.

If you see someone in the kitchen that has good hands and a quick brain, then you need that person to be in the front of everything.

When you get close to the raw materials and taste them at the moment they let go of the soil, you learn to respect them.

I never cooked at home - my father was the chef.

I only have the restaurant. If I do other things, it's only to do with the restaurant.

Fine dining is an occasional treat for most people.

I can't crack jokes because I don't have any.
