When I'm on the road, I'll break my exercise into a cardio session and a weights session.

I travel 330 days a year and eat every two and a half hours - I'm a big guy. I always carry a fork, little bottles of spices, and Sriracha. I eat what I feel like eating.

Every time I tour military outlets, I dedicate the food, fitness and set-ups to their service, because it all came to me through the military.

I had written two cookbooks, and they had done well, but I wanted to move to fitness, because it's big with me.

The Food Network and the Cooking Channel have so many viewers. And, because there's no violence, some of that audience is children. So, I think we have a responsibility to educate parents how to produce healthy meals for their families.

For years - especially in England where I come from - cooking was a subservient job. When I told my Dad I was going to be a cook, he wouldn't talk to me for two years. Even though it was associated with my military service, he thought cooking was beneath me.

The sharing of food is like breaking bread, it's very symbolic.
