I always like to think I'm having a dinner party, and I'm the host, and the audience are my guests.

Obviously, everyone's different, but I love just settling down and having a barbecue with my friends at the house.

I like being home for dinner.

I like to think of myself as the host at a party, and, if everybody is having a good time, so much the better.

I like to have sleepovers.

I enjoy spending time at home or going out for a quiet meal in a restaurant.

I love my kitchen. On the weekends, we have friends over, the kids are buzzing around, and we cook and talk.

I like to take a long time over breakfast, and I can't bear to talk. If a guest is a breakfast talker it's very important to invite another so they can talk to each other. Otherwise they spoil the newspaper reading and everything else.

I love watching people enjoying food. It's very relaxing for me to cook.

I try to greet my friends with a drink in my hand, a warm smile on my face, and great music in the background, because that's what gets a dinner party off to a fun start.
