Take a trip to the forest and experience the greatness of getting on your knees and picking your own food and going home... and eating it.

That's how people make sense of a meeting: they eat something. If they were in a sad moment it would be the same thing, they'd be eating something. It's what makes life fun. We don't need it to be delicious or great or all these things if we're just to survive. But it's one of those things that makes life fun, livable. And the more I submerge myself in it, the more fun I seem to have.

I just love this idea of using, especially in terms of food, using that common sense. If you follow that - it's hard to talk about it without sounding like some New Age idiot, which I think is a bit unfair - but, if you do follow that natural cycle, you will inevitably eat better, cheaper, and much, much, much, much healthier.

Cooking, I mean, food, cooking foods is just everything that I do from morning to night. It's how I choose to live my life: through cooking, people that are in food culture. And I love it.

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

A gastronomical supermeal didn't necessarily have to involve the things I had brought from other top kitchens.

I would love to eat a really great burger, but it doesn't exist in our part of the world.
