I Came Up From A Difficult Background.

I Am Well Aware That A Chef Is Only As Good As His Last Meal.

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.

Cooking Is About Passion, So It May Look Slightly Temperamental In A Way That It's Too Assertive To The Naked Eye.

When You Have The Arrogance, The Confidence And You Can't Cook, Then You're Only Going To Look Stupid.

Put Your Head Down And Work Hard. Never Wait For Things To Happen, Make Them Happen For Yourself Through Hard Graft And Not Giving Up.
