The public health of five million children should not be left to luck or chance.

What I've enjoyed most, though, is meeting people who have a real interest in food and sharing ideas with them. Good food is a global thing and I find that there is always something new and amazing to learn - I love it!

I could cook from quite an early age - purely because I liked it.

If Obama wanted to make radical changes to America's health long-term, all he has to do is treble the price of sugar and salt.

Stop being a vegan and start enjoying what you eat.

My first outdoor cooking memories are full of erratic British summers, Dad swearing at a barbecue that he couldn't put together, and eventually eating charred sausages, feeling brilliant.

If you only design menus that are essentially junk or fast food, the whole infrastructure supports junk.

I'm better with my hands, and I always loved the slightly romantic idea of starting with bits of wood and being able to create something to sit on, to eat from, to store your clothes in.

It's very clear that there's a lot of double standards going on. Should there be a 30mph speed limit? Of course there bloody should. And certainly with kids and school food, kids need to be nannied for sure. So give them a bloody good meal at school.

I'm probably a bit romantic about it, but I think we humans miss having contact with fire. We need it.

I want Americans to enjoy food. I want them to celebrate food. I want them to, on occasions, to have big cakes and great things. And I want them to indulge.

Give your kids a bloody knife and fork and let me put some fresh food in front of them they can eat.

Just because the Americans are so good at rattling out accessible and cheap junk food, nobody looks twice when it comes to their food. But there are golden nuggets everywhere.
