I think baking is an incredible thing; cooking in general is an incredible thing.

I love to bake. There's something very ritualistic about it, kind of magic.

No matter what the recipe, any baker can do wonders in the kitchen with some good ingredients and an upbeat attitude!

I love baking.

My ritual is cooking. I find it therapeutic. It comes naturally to me. I can read a recipe and won't have to look at it again.

I love food and am very good at improvising when preparing it - it's a really creative experience for me.

Anyone who's a chef, who loves food, ultimately knows that all that matters is: 'Is it good? Does it give pleasure?'

I like to cook with the philosophy of using great ingredients and not altering them too much.

You don't have to stick with these recipes. They're guides. As I say, they're a way in. Have fun with them. It's an easier way to cook in a busy life, once you get the hang of it.

It's like spicy food - sometimes you have to tone it down so more people can enjoy it.
