Baking cookies is comforting, and cookies are the sweetest little bit of comfort food. They are very bite-sized and personal.

Smell is so powerful, you know. My grannies would both bake things like shortbreads and cookies. I think whenever I smell those kinds of things it really takes me back to my childhood.

The best cookies of all in the world are the ones my daughter Sally makes. They come out all uniform with nice little air holes.

I think cookies are sort of the unsung sweet, you know? They're incredibly popular. But everybody thinks of cakes and pies and fancier desserts before they think cookies. A plate of cookies is a great way to end dinner and really nice to share at the holidays.

I love baking.

I like cookies, any cookie you put in front of me - animal cookies, sugar cookies, anything crunchy.

Plain sugar cookies, no matter how well they are made, are a bit boring to me.

I'm a great lighter and lover of candles, particularly fragranced ones, as I'm kind of addicted to scent.

I like Sultana cookies - they are so, so, so good. I think the best in the world.

I love the scents of winter! For me, it's all about the feeling you get when you smell pumpkin spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, gingerbread and spruce.
