Also, In A Funny Way, If You

I Took A Fortnight Off. But I'm Not A Great Believer In Breaks. I Don't Want To Be Rattling Around Inside My Own Head. I Did Feel I Was Spiralling Into A Kathy Burke Character And Tried Going Out, But I Prefer It Here. Filming Keeps Me Busy. It Absorbs Me.

I Think Sometimes That People Assume Because I'm On Television I'm An Expert, But I Think The Whole Point Of What I Do Is That I'm Not And I Don't Have Any Training. My Approach Isn't About A Fancy Ingredient Or Style. I Cook What I Love To Eat.

I Think Maybe When You Live With Someone Who Is Really Very Ill For A Long Time, It Somehow Gives You More Of A Greedy Appetite For Life And Maybe, Yes, You Are Less Measured In Your Behaviour Than You Would Otherwise Be.

I Am Not A Chef. I Am Not Even A Trained Or Professional Cook. My Qualification Is As An Eater.

And Cooking Is About Balance And Harmony.
