The best food I've ever eaten in my life has come from the poorest communities.

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.

I think authenticity is important whichever homeland you're from but one of the lovely things about British cooking is that we adopt great food and dishes from all of the lovely people who come from overseas to live in our country. We're a magpie nation - we take the best bits of other cuisines and embrace them as our own.
