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.
fire stories disappear
But I read Catching Fire. I loved disappearing into a story.
I've cooked just about everything really.
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.
giving cooking ultimate
Cooking is the ultimate giving!
age cooks
I could cook from quite an early age - purely because I liked it.
plant plant-based-diet diets
The future is about a plant-based diet.
children mouths meat
Why would any sensible human being put meat filled with ammonia in the mouths of their children?
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!
