Q&A
- What's your favourite recipe and why?
- While I love French food, the food that I never get tired of is an Indian curry. It is the only food that I can eat day in day out when I am on holiday - even for breakfast. I'm sure it is addictive. To me the blending of the spices is a real art. Indian chefs don't get as much credit for it as they should.
- What was the first thing you remember cooking?
- A Victoria sandwich that ended up like a frisbee. I had eaten so much of the creamed mixture while I was mixing it that I threw out all the rest of the quantities - the cake was more like a biscuit.
- Who do you admire, and what would you cook for them?
- I'd love to cook for the granddad that I have never met - he died years before I was born. My dad tells me great stories about him eating mangoes in the bath and keeping live eels in the cellar. He sounds quite a foodie. I think I would cook a Thai meal as the flavours of lemongrass and fish sauce would be so far away from anything that he would have tasted before. He would be amazed.
