From quite an early age I realised the effect that good food can have on others.
I've made a few nice dishes in my time, but this must be the best I've ever made.
My general rule is that if everyone knew how to cook fresh produce from their local area, and Monday to Thursday within 20 minutes, you know, there's millions of recipes out there to be had.
It's just us trying to start a movement where everybody passes on a bit of cooking knowledge. We estimate that one person can potentially affect 180 others very quickly so we're just trying to spread the word.
Maybe God has a bigger plan for me than I have for myself.
Stop being a vegan and start enjoying what you eat.
I could cook from quite an early age - purely because I liked it.
It's not the extremes and the treats that are the problem. It's the everyday.
As soon as I was old enough to peer over the worktops, I remember being fascinated by what went on in the kitchen. It just seemed such a cool place, everyone working together to make this lovely stuff and having a laugh doing it.
Your child will live a life ten years younger than you because of the landscape of food that we've built around them.
Now, everyone is excited about food - cooking, growing, learning - watching it on TV, buying books, trying things at home. It's the greatest time ever to be in food - which is why it's so hard to see so many people still relying on processed food. I am hoping that we had a generational blip - and that these young people will continue on and pass on their love of food and creativity to the next generation of kids.
Now that I've got kids, it's become really important for me on the health front to try to buy as much organic produce as possible.
I think there are definitely two types of student: the academic kids and the 50% who fail. It's very clear to see - it's fact. We're not doing enough for those who fail; they need a more physical, tactile approach, involving people skills, team-building, problem-solving, building things.
Industry, economy, honesty and kindness form a quartet of virtue that will never be improved upon.
I wouldn't say that processed food, ready meals and even takeaways aren't relevant to modern life, it's just that over the past 40 years there are three generations of people who have come out of school and gone through their home life without ever being shown how to cook properly.
In England, you're allowed to have an opinion - as long as it comes out of your mouth.
As usual, my timing is bizarrely good.
I want Americans to enjoy food. I want them to celebrate food. I want them to, on occasions, to have big cakes and great things. And I want them to indulge.
I love roasting because you can give it love, get it in the oven and go and play with the kids or whatever you've got to do, and then hours later you've got a lovely dinner.
If you only design menus that are essentially junk or fast food, the whole infrastructure supports junk.
Have you ever seen a really good chocolate dish & women? It affects women not like men. It’s incredible.
The kitchen oven is reliable, but it's made us lazy.
I never get tired of talking about food. I do getting tired of fighting governments when they are so clearly not putting the best interest of the children forward.
Give your kids a bloody knife and fork and let me put some fresh food in front of them they can eat.
Young people can be disruptive and screw up classes. But even if they are being a pain in the arse it's a cry for help - they don't feel like they are being listened to.
