I'm a simple cook, and there's a lot I don't eat. But food is important. It translates so easily into pleasure.

I really feel I have found myself as a chef. It's very clear to me what I want to do - and how it should taste.

I love food and I love ingredients and I love reading recipes. It's just a great pleasure.

If you are a chef, no matter how good a chef you are, it's not good cooking for yourself; the joy is in cooking for others - it's the same with music.

I think the most wonderful thing in the world is another chef. I'm always excited about learning new things about food.

I love cooking and eating - I'm a total foodie. It started off as a survival thing as a student, when cheese and potato pie was all I could afford to make. My most successful results come from concocting something with leftovers. Any chef will tell you that you should taste as you cook, so I might make it a bit more spicy, yogurty or eggy.

For me, I love food. It's my greatest pleasure and also the thing that could ruin you as well. It's one of those things where, if you're not thoughtful about it, it could be unhealthy. But if there's a mindfulness about it; it actually is a wonderful tool of emotional expression.

The better the ingredients, the more farmers I can buy from, the closer I feel to the food I want to make that represents what I care about as a chef.

I have always loved food. I began cooking for my family as a young girl, and to this day, it's one of my greatest pleasures in life.

I'm not a trained chef, so I end up making stuff up. It either turns out brilliant or an absolute disaster. I just go for it.
