I love wines, except when I'm dieting.

I like white wine when it's young and vigorous. I don't think you should cellar white wine at all, unless it's white Burgundy, and definitely not nonvintage Champagne.

You don't do oysters and red wine together. That's a no-no; you just don't do that. I love a nice white wine with oysters.

I really like rustic mediterranean cooking. And I like trying out curry takeaways.

I love Christopher Bailey and Burberry, Mulberry for bags, and Hudson for jeans.

I make a wicked clam chowdah, and linguine with clam sauce. Oysters I like to eat raw, and mussels in either a white wine sauce or in beer with paprika.

I love beautiful wood.

I like salty, creamy foods. I could sit down with a bag of chips and French onion dip and go to town! That would be on my last-supper list.

Take your average couscous salad, and it's almost always a sloppy mush, no matter how much attention has gone into getting flavours in there.
