Being a hybrid maker off and on over the years, I'm very comfortable with the idea and have been the subject of quite a few pretty good mash-ups myself.

I almost never make stuff out of cookbooks because they're either too complicated or there's an ingredient in there that I can't find.

I'm not sure I'd write a good cookbook, but I might make a good cooking show.

Too many books are full of recipes that aren't doable at home. They are purely aspirational. They are quite frightening, even for me.

Recipes are important but only to a point. What's more important than recipes is how we think about food, and a good cookbook should open up a new way of doing just that.

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.

I wanted to write a food book, but I'm not a chef or an expert on culinary matters, to put it mildly.

I've been thinking about a cookbook. I've been making notes and promising myself I'll do it some day. I have an idea for a cookbook and music together.
