From quite an early age I realised the effect that good food can have on others.

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

I never get tired of talking about food. I do getting tired of fighting governments when they are so clearly not putting the best interest of the children forward.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

Real food doesn't have ingredients, real food is ingredients.

The kitchen oven is reliable, but it's made us lazy.

My life is really so much based in England.

Why would any sensible human being put meat filled with ammonia in the mouths of their children?

I'm probably a bit romantic about it, but I think we humans miss having contact with fire. We need it.

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?

I'm better with my hands, and I always loved the slightly romantic idea of starting with bits of wood and being able to create something to sit on, to eat from, to store your clothes in.

I've cooked just about everything really.

The future is about a plant-based diet.
