Ambition drives you on, ability certainly helps, but the fickle finger of fate and luck are great things.
From Fergus Henderson
I think Isambard Kingdom Brunel would be a good chap to have supper with. Anyone who builds a railway and then builds a steamship when he gets to Bristol and can't go any further must be a good chap.
I'm a big believer that we get the politicians we deserve.
We live in a flat; my wife would be happy if we had a house with stairs. Or a little cottage in the country.
I'm like a kid in a sweet shop every day. It's slightly cringey how much fun I have.
Do not let the word 'tripe' deter you. Let its soothing charms win you over, and enjoy it as do those who always have!
I had a holiday job in a kitchen, but I think we'll draw a polite veil over that. There was nothing joyous or creative about it. And none of this helped my studies.
My first proper kitchen was this funny little club that we set up in Mercer Street in Covent Garden. It got shut down. Then I worked at a club in Notting Hill.
A pig's trotter is a fantastic thing. The first night of my honeymoon in Paris, my wife fell asleep in her steak tartare, so my trotter kept me company.
Nose-to-tail eating is not a bloodlust, testosterone-fueled offal hunt. It's common sense, and it's all good stuff.
