I won't eat veal, and my mum won't eat lamb, because she thinks it's a bit harsh to eat cute things.

Veal, by definition, is the product of a sick, anemic, deliberately malnourished calf, a newborn dragged away from his mother in the first hours of life. Veal calves are dealt the harshest of punishments for the least essential of meats.

I'll eat anything. I ate antelope once in Swaziland. I didn't know what it was until I'd started chewing it. Everything tastes like chicken though doesn't it? It wasn't bad.

I find myself eating different kinds of chicken each and every day, even if it's by surprise.

I like chicken a lot because chicken is generous - that is to say, it's obedient. It will do whatever you tell it to do.

I don't know when the last time I had fried chicken was. Must've been years. As soon as I think about eating it, I think about the stomach ache I'd get.

Sometimes it's good to remember how bad food can be, so you can enjoy the concept of flavour to the fullest.

We've all seen chicken portrayed as the low-fat, heart-healthy alternative to red meat for years, but it no longer adds up. You might want to lean away from eating birds and lean toward more plant-based options of protein like black beans, lentils, tofu, chickpeas and whole grains.

I love the smell of fried chicken.

As a chef, if I can taste something, I can basically figure out what's in it.
