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

My first taste memory is pickle. Even as a kid, I was really weird. I liked chillis. I used to climb up the shelves in my grandmother's pantry. The pickle jar was kept right at the top. One time, I dropped the jar and it broke. I was totally busted.

I was once married to a woman who could eat anything and tell you what was in it: the most complicated recipes. Her memory of taste - now that's what I call memory!

I have an excellent memory, a most excellent memory.

You think about some of the most memorable meals you've ever had; the food will be good but it will often be about locating a mental memory and taste is inexorably linked to all the other senses and memory, so ultimately it is all about taste.

I've actually got quite a good memory. I've good recall. It's often things which other people might not notice.

I have a terrible memory.

My memory's not too good.

I should remember more, and I have a pretty good memory.

I tell everybody the same thing: You have to make every dish so when you taste it, you should remember it when you go home.
