I'm a sucker for a packet of biscuits. I can eat a whole pack in 10 minutes.

I think, British food, it's had a bad rap.

I love to roast vegetables - carrots, fennel, and so on. I also love to mash or puree pretty much any vegetable!

I love the smell of frying liver. It kind of releases a sweetness into the air, and it kind of prickles your nose, and it kind of makes you awake... it gets me excited.

My mom wasn't so much such a great cook. But I don't know, I think I have a very strong mother, and it's funny, because both of my sisters - I have two sisters, and I'm the baby, but they all work hard. I'm not sure where I get it from, and I'm not sure where they get it from, but they must get it from somewhere... I like to work.

When I eat biscuits, I also eat grits.
