Everyone wants to be young, beautiful and rich. I don't say that scornfully: there are worse things to want to be. But that's why, for example, people don't begrudge Kate Moss how much she earns for a day's work but will fulminate over the take-home pay of some fat, old Water Board exec.

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

I am always surprised when people read double entendres into my innocuous babble.

Emotion is messy, contradictory... and true.

People who have fabulous childhoods have this sense that nothing is ever going to be that good again. With me, I have the sense that nothing is going to be that bad.

I was a quiet teenager, introverted, full of angst.

And cooking is about balance and harmony.

But I do think that women who spend all their lives on a diet probably have a miserable sex life: if your body is the enemy, how can you relax and take pleasure? Everything is about control, rather than relaxing, about holding everything in.

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.

I do think awful things may happen at any moment, so while they are not happening, you may as well be pleased.
