age cooks
I could cook from quite an early age - purely because I liked it.
age good-food realised
From quite an early age I realised the effect that good food can have on others.
cake want celebrate
I want Americans to enjoy food. I want them to celebrate food. I want them to, on occasions, to have big cakes and great things. And I want them to indulge.
thinking giving trying
God, why do I give interviews to 'the Guardian'? They always try to dissect you, and I don't really think about stuff in the way that you're asking me these questions.
hate documentaries tvs
I hate making TV documentaries.
teacher teaching thinking
Like most of the other teachers, I'd done a bit of teaching and we all think we're great at what we do, but you realize that normally you have an audience who are all onside, who all want to listen.
kids trying important
Now that I've got kids, it's become really important for me on the health front to try to buy as much organic produce as possible.
plant plant-based-diet diets
The future is about a plant-based diet.
kids play giving
I love roasting because you can give it love, get it in the oven and go and play with the kids or whatever you've got to do, and then hours later you've got a lovely dinner.
fun fighting type-2-diabetes
Fight the staggering rise of type-2 diabetes by simply learning to cook healthy fresh food - it's fun, and it could save your life!
kids knives giving
Give your kids a bloody knife and fork and let me put some fresh food in front of them they can eat.
kids drug taste
Many kids can tell you about drugs but do not know what celery or courgettes taste like.
children school kids
Every child should be taught to cook in school, not just talk about nutrition all day. Good food can be made in 15 minutes. This could be the first generation where the kids teach the parents.
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.
