Quote

In England and America people tend to graze all day long, but I think it's such a waste to be constantly picking at food because you then can't enjoy a proper full meal when the time comes.

(In cooking), there is always room for careful tinkering.

You don't go around grieving all the time, but the grief is still there and always will be.

In fact I am quite snappy and irritable, and I don't know if I'd like to make myself worse in that respect.

I'm not much of a drinker. I'm an eater more than a drinker. So I feel that I don't have to wait to get a hangover in order to eat these.

I was brought up an atheist and have always remained so. But at no time was I led to believe that morality was unimportant or that good and bad did not exist. I believe passionately in the need to distinguish between right and wrong and am somewhat confounded by being told I need God, Jesus or a clergyman to help me to do so.

But if you know that something has been really vicious, you don't read it, you don't let it into your head. What's damaging is when sentences go through your head and you burn with the injustice of it.

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

Glamour really has to do with good lighting, doesn't it?

Tension translates to your guests. They'll have a much better time having chili and baked potatoes than they would if you did roast duck with a wild cherry sauce and then had to lie down and cry for a while.

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

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

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

I'm not someone who's endlessly patient and wonderful.
