joy enemy really-sad
Food is one of life's greatest joys yet we've reached this really sad point where we're turning food into the enemy, and something to be afraid of
children real school
Imagine a world where children were fed tasty and nutritious, real food at school from the age of 4 to 18. A world where every child was educated about how amazing food is, where it comes from, how it affects the body and how it can save their lives.
motivational blessed men
The world is blessed most by men who do things, not by those who merely talk about them.
doubt sugar next
Sugar is the next tobacco, without a doubt, and that industry should be scared. It should be taxed just like tobacco and anything else that can, frankly, destroy lives,
believe home primal
I profoundly believe that the power of food has a primal place in our homes, that binds us to the best bits of life.
real ingredients real-food
Real food doesn't have ingredients, real food is ingredients.
reading writing school
Every kid in every school no matter their background, deserves to learn the basics about food - where it comes from, how to cook it and how it affects their bodies. These life skills are as important as reading and writing, but they've been lost over the past few generations. We need to bring them back and bring up our kids to be streetwise about food.
disease homicide diets
Homicide is 0.8% of deaths. Diet-related disease is over 60%. But no one talks about it.
jumping people long
Pick a destination, go there, be open-minded and talk to the locals. Eat the things they eat and go where they go. You don't need to be fluent, just as long as you've got a smile on your face- people will be jumping over themselves to show you the stuff they're proud of.
ideas giving cooking
The whole idea is to earn the flavor. No one gives it to you.
nice father being-the-best
I've made a few nice dishes in my time, but this must be the best I've ever made.
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?
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.
usual timing
As usual, my timing is bizarrely good.
