“I find that quite amusing - I used to get Deborah Kerr her sausage rolls.”

“Romanians love country dancing. At Christmas, you go house to house, and they play guitar and drum and a violin and everybody's on their feet - well, it's better than watching telly.”

“I love Keith Floyd - I think he inspired people to cook.”

“Going through the redwood forests was the most spectacular motorcycling.”

“I was something of a surprise to my parents. My mum, Margaret, was 42 when she had me and had been told she couldn't have children. So when she went to the doctors, they thought she had an ovarian cyst. And it was me!”

“By the time I graduated, I'd lost both parents and 23 was a young age to deal with a double loss like that. I felt rootless.”

“Si's a red wine fanatic; I'm a white wine fanatic. Which is good, because it means you get a bottle to yourself!”

“Stockholm's a wonderful city if you love food - it's spectacular.”

“Keto diet, you are putting your body into ketosis which is never a good thing. It's a massive stress on your kidneys and liver which is why on that diet you have to drink a lot of water.”

“When you're on the road a lot like we are, it's hard to eat sensibly and all too easy to stoke up on fatty foods.”

“It's great to be able to buy normal-sized jeans and watching the pounds fall off, but I do miss drink and I do miss cheese!”

“I was in a motorway services and I broke and had a cheese sandwich. It felt fabulous.”

“It was quite weird when we met, because we were both the ones who cooked in our own groups. When I was married, I did the cooking at home, same as Si did. It was like a parallel universe. We were both born hungry, weren't we?”

“On Route 66, a lot of it, it's very transient. There's an awful lot of really, really bad food, you can't ignore that.”

“Strictly' is a journey. I haven't danced before but I'm putting the practice hours in, whether it shows or not.”

“We like to play a game. You go into a diner and see if you can order breakfast without having to reply to a question. It's impossible. There's a huge amount of choice in how you'd like your eggs, your coffee, even how toasted you'd like your toast to be!”

“Elevate the humble sausage casserole to a new level by adding some Worcestershire sauce, some Muscovado sugar, mixed herbs and some red wine.”

“People only ever cook nine meals in rotation, so we put a survey out to see what people wanted to eat. People said they loved a Bakewell tart and a trifle, so we've put them together, and now a recipe for Bakewell trifle exists.”

“We wanted to do our own programme. It's cooking, chatting to people and writing books. Like brothers, we never run out of anything to say.”

“I just calorie count and knock the booze on the head and then watch the scales to see the weight come off. Now I've been very healthy.”
