I hid myself in food.

I grew up in a funny way.

I don't think it's a good advert for any restaurant, a fat chef, and secondly, who wants to eat a dessert when the chef's a fat pig.

If you want to become a great chef, you have to work with great chefs. And that's exactly what I did.

I've never been a hands-on dad. I'm not ashamed to admit it, but you can't run a restaurant and be home for tea at 4:30 and bath and change nappies.

If I can give you one strong piece of advice, when you go away for that romantic weekend, whatever you do, do not accept or take the upgrade to the honeymoon suite.

I suppose your security is your success and your key to success is your fine palate.

I've had a lot of success I've had failures, so I learn from the failure.

I'd like to think I'm a great teacher.

My father was a swim teacher. We used to swim before school, swim after school.
