I don't come from any great culinary tradition - I'm from London!

Be mindful of what supermarkets are doing and demand to see their business practices. Stop throwing away food. Compost as much as you can, eat as locally and as seasonally as you can. Share knowledge...

If people grow things themselves, their children understand, then schools in the area know that this community's generating something with its own energy, to consume.

In Britain, the big supermarkets dominate our food chain. British supermarkets are some of the best in the world at controlling, manipulating and delivering cheap food.

I'd like to cook for my granny one more time. I cooked for her a couple of times before she passed away, but I wasn't really old enough.

Being a vegetarian Buddhist would be a bit harsh to deal with in the kitchen, so I'm a Taoist, I study martial arts, and I don't drink or smoke.

I just want to serve food that people want to eat, and show a way forward for the restaurant industry, for all industries. One day, everything I've done will be worthwhile.

Supermarkets don't really sustain a community, and they completely remove people from the food chain.

We are stronger as a group than an individual. Think in a cooperative and communal way, set up local food hubs and create growing communities.

I'd like to be a cross between Bruce Parry and Keith Floyd. Someone with a sense of adventure who truly loves food.
