I'm always astonished to see how badly people can behave when they think no one is noticing.

I write in the morning - and then I'm always experimenting and tasting recipes for the books.

Writing is work and cooking is relaxing.

Catering is extremely demanding financially and physically. It's a business.

In a mystery, the sleuth must be believably involved and emotionally invested in solving the crime.

I think we love watching rich people behave badly. It has a sort of grisly fascination for us.
