“I'm always cooking big veggie curries for friends with tons of spices, coconut milk, chilli - I'll saute potatoes in the spices, then cook them with all the flavours and stir in some chickpeas and spinach at the end before serving it on a bed of sesame brown rice. It's easy to do and tastes amazing!”
“You have to separate the negative into two categories - half of it is sensible, constructive things that has made us better. But half of the negative online is negative for the sake of being negative, and it's important for us to remember it's okay they don't like us, and sometimes there's no point in engaging in that.”
“Food was a big part of our family gatherings, but it was usually pasta. We didn't eat that well. Everything was home-made but not much veg or fruit.”
“I spent ages learning to take photos, which was a lot of fun, and I think it really helped readers get excited about the recipes.”
“I wouldn't ever have believed I would marry so young, but it was love at first sight, so there was no point in holding back for the sake of it.”

“Healthy eating isn't supposed to be about self-denial; it's not a punishment.”
“Just because you want to eat vegetables and eat well doesn't mean you can't share food and have fun with it. It should still be an exciting thing. It shouldn't be just eating kale on your own in the corner.”
“Eating well isn't about dieting or deprivation, so you shouldn't feel that you're bound to certain rules.”
“For me, I've got no interest in being a celebrity, and I have no interest in doing photographs, going to this party or that.”
