mistake matter wanted
All I ever wanted to do was to make food accessible to everyone; to show that you can make mistakes - I do all the time - but it doesn't matter.
strong children fighting
I wish for everyone to help create a strong, sustainable movement to educate every child about food, inspire families to cook again and empower people everywhere to fight obesity.
nice mean feel-good
If you can eat with mates or friends or family, I mean, it's such a brilliant thing isn't it? If you feel really rubbish and you have a nice bit of food it makes you feel good, you know?
mistake done
40% of what I've done was a mistake. I now call it R&D.
powerful availability people
I hear loads of cynics saying that I'll never be able to change anything. They say that junk food marketing and the ready availability of fast food is just too powerful. But I'd say in response, screw you. I know that most people, if they're really honest, are fed up with the same old rubbish
laughing lovely kitchen
As soon as I was old enough to peer over the worktops, I remember being fascinated by what went on in the kitchen. It just seemed such a cool place, everyone working together to make this lovely stuff and having a laugh doing it.
team kids thinking
I think there are definitely two types of student: the academic kids and the 50% who fail. It's very clear to see - it's fact. We're not doing enough for those who fail; they need a more physical, tactile approach, involving people skills, team-building, problem-solving, building things.
love real food
What I've enjoyed most, though, is meeting people who have a real interest in food and sharing ideas with them. Good food is a global thing and I find that there is always something new and amazing to learn - I love it!
everyday problem treats
It's not the extremes and the treats that are the problem. It's the everyday.
summer memories dad
My first outdoor cooking memories are full of erratic British summers, Dad swearing at a barbecue that he couldn't put together, and eventually eating charred sausages, feeling brilliant.
men chocolate incredibles
Have you ever seen a really good chocolate dish & women? It affects women not like men. It’s incredible.
cute littles achieve
My aim is to achieve sustainable change, not just make a cute little makeover.
usual timing
As usual, my timing is bizarrely good.
motivation children inspiration
Your child will live a life ten years younger than you because of the landscape of food that we've built around them.
