I have an intense dislike of doctrines, because you will always end up eating your words.
From Yotam Ottolenghi
Too many books are full of recipes that aren't doable at home. They are purely aspirational. They are quite frightening, even for me.
Most of my recipes start life in the domestic kitchen, and even those that start out in the restaurant kitchen have to go through the domestic kitchen.
I do support people eating more vegetables. It's a good thing to do.
I like to talk about food, ingredients, and how to adapt recipes. It's a dialogue.
Healthy is in the eye of the beholder.
Eating ready-made meals is about being very passive, and actively cooking is something that nothing compares to.
TV chefs are not responsible for people's consumption of fibre; this is not our job.
You can be vegetarian and eat fish. It's your choice, just say: 'I am what I am.' There are no hardcore divisions anymore.
Chefs don't use white pepper just to avoid spoiling the whiteness of pommes puree or bechamel. It has a more peppery aroma, with sharpness and sweetness, too.
