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.
england life-is
My life is really so much based in England.
rocks study hills
When I was a schoolkid, I went to Castleton quite a few times. We'd be there studying rocks, going down these big hills. It was a great place!
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.
monday recipes thursday
My general rule is that if everyone knew how to cook fresh produce from their local area, and Monday to Thursday within 20 minutes, you know, there's millions of recipes out there to be had.
community best-food poorest
The best food I've ever eaten in my life has come from the poorest communities.
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.
children luck chance
The public health of five million children should not be left to luck or chance.
fire stories disappear
But I read Catching Fire. I loved disappearing into a story.
I've cooked just about everything really.
honesty kindness virtue
Industry, economy, honesty and kindness form a quartet of virtue that will never be improved upon.
school home past
I wouldn't say that processed food, ready meals and even takeaways aren't relevant to modern life, it's just that over the past 40 years there are three generations of people who have come out of school and gone through their home life without ever being shown how to cook properly.
