The Issue I Have Is That The Cooking Techniques Are Up For Questioning, Today More Than Ever Before. If You Waterbath Beef At 22-degrees For 12 Hours, It May Taste Fantastic, But If You Don't Cook Food At A High Enough Temperature, You Risk Not Killing The Bacteria. Things Like That Make Me Nervous Of Venturing Into It.

My Childhood Favourite Is Mum's Shepherd's Pie, Yorkshire Pudding And Roasted Potatoes. I Remember Coming Home From School And Going To The Kitchen To Help Her. It's Because Of Her That I Discovered My Love For Cooking.

Why Can't It Be A Curriculum? Why Can't It Be A Life Skill That They Learn Just To Look After Themselves In Terms Of A Healthy Way Of Eating? I Think We Need To Shake Up That Whole Curriculum And Give Them A Little Bit More Of A Lifestyle Early On, Before They Leave School At 18.

You See New Shows Coming Out With The Same Format, Slightly High End, A Little Bit More Glossy. You Think, "s - . It's Just The Same S - But Different Day."

I Train My Chefs Completely Different To Anyone Else. My Young Girls And Guys, When They Come To The Kitchen, The First Thing They Get Is A Blindfold. They Get Blindfolded And They Get Sat Down At The Chef's Table... Unless They Can Identify What They're Tasting, They Don't Get To Cook It.
