I'm A Home Cook And Love To

Cooking For People Is An Enormously Significant Expression Of Generosity And Soulfulness.

In Recent Years, I've Been Writing Because I'm Fortunate Enough To Work In The World Of Food Television, To Travel And Taste And Learn About Cooking From The Best Chefs In The Business.

The Best Way To Learn Is Live, In Person, Cooking, Feeling, Smelling And Tasting, But Tv Is The Second-best Thing To That; It's A Halfway Facsimile.

The World Is Full Of People Who Would Like Nothing Better Than To Spend Six Hours On A Golf Course. I Would Rather Be Chopping Shallots.

I Think What I Do Differently From A Lot Of Tv Chefs Is That I Break Down Barriers And Make Fine Food More Accessible To The Regular Person, Who Might Be Intimidated. I Try Hard, Particularly With Wine, To Make It Not Intimidating. It's Sort Of A Teaching Job.
