I am not the world's most confident person..

Television forces people to be larger than life. I would be too shy..

I write and chop with my left hand and do everything else, including eating with a knife, with my right..

If it doesn't taste good it doesn't go on the menu.

I've got around 400 cookbooks..

I still love doing what I do, and I'm really lucky to get up in the morning and want to go to work..

At home I've got 1,500 cook books and the spines have all gone, the pages are all torn - it's chaos..

But most is all to do with work. There are aspects of work that are enjoyable, that you could call a hobby..

There are so many issues in our oceans - like the near extinction of blue fin tuna - that should be taken more seriously worldwide..

I would try doing a dish 30 different ways..
