I fell in love with food because of my mother. So, I will definitely be sharing and expanding more recipes from my culture (as well as many other cultures), and will be sharing recipes that I have experienced from my whole culinary life.

Television in the '80s was very limited. There was no Food Network.

I left school when I was 14 to work in kitchens.

I think I generally try to buy the best quality and keep it simple. I don't try to make too many decorations, too many things with it.

What I don't like is breakfast in the morning. I have a double-espresso cappuccino, but no food.

I believe that London is the most exciting food city in Europe.

The only way to teach people how to truly do it and do it the right way, is to get those ingredients and kitchen tools in front of them and in their hands to use.
