football becoming brown
Football is becoming all about money. I would like to be in a lift with Gordon Brown and say, 'Please do something about football.'
cake tea tests
A cake is a very good test of an oven: if it browns too much on one side and not on the other, it's not your fault - you need to have your oven checked.
art food eggs
A hen's egg is, quite simply, a work of art, a masterpiece of design and construction with, it has to be said, brilliant packaging!
beautiful thinking eating
Food is for eating, and good food is to be enjoyed... I think food is, actually, very beautiful in itself.
electronic scales
Electronic scales are, for me, a no no.
good near nutrients vegetables
So often much of the flavour and nutrients in vegetables are near the skin, and with a good peeler you really are only removing the skin.

cookery country football subjects
Football and cookery are the two most important subjects in this country
art games people
There are people who claim to be instinctive cooks, who never follow recipes or weigh anything at all. All I can say is they're not very fussy about what they eat. For me, cooking is an exact art and not some casual game.
believe thinking skins
I have tried all my life to look after my skin, so I never do things like go to bed with make-up on. I also always use moisturisers. But I certainly do not believe in Botox or anything like that. The thought of it just makes me think 'urgh'.
