I know the crew so well, so I forget I'm being filmed. It's like cooking with a friend in the kitchen - you're talking, as you do, and maybe you're telling her about this wonderful way to prepare lamb chops - it's more natural, more honest.

Good olive oil, good butter, milk - they give food taste and depth and a richness that you cant reproduce with low-fat ingredients.

There is a vast difference between how things seem from the outside and how they feel on the inside.

Cooking is actually quite aggressive and controlling and sometimes, yes, there is an element of force-feeding going on.

Gordon Ramsay makes me laugh because he knows that I'm not a chef.
Nigella Lawson
Image
I am not a chef. I am not even a trained or professional cook. My qualification is as an eater.

And cooking is about balance and harmony.

I lurch from chaos to chaos. I can't find my driving licence and my clothes are everywhere - cooking is the neatest thing I do.
