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.

Fine dining is an occasional treat for most people.

The traditional roots of Scandinavian cuisine are not that spectacular, to say the least. When we write about the traditions that we are inspired by, it's more techniques like smoking, preserving. Many of them are not made to make food delicious; they're just around so that you can make food last through the winter. There isn't a great deal of tradition to tap into.

If you see how a plant grows and you taste it in situ you have a perfect example of how it should taste on the plate.

Chefs have a new opportunity - and perhaps even an obligation - to inform the public about what is good to eat, and why.

My last meal on Earth, I would love it to be a bowl of blueberries with cold cream.

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