I don't just loving cooking in a vacuum, as it were; I love cooking for people, with people, and laughing.
Cooking is about love, really, and cooking for your children is all about caring for them, building relationships.
I say time and time again - yes, cooking is wonderful to cook for your loved ones and see them eat the food but the most important thing is getting them all sat around the table together.
I'm always interested in cooking and helping to bring people together.
A lot of people go for the serious angle because, ultimately, that's what it's all about. But it doesn't necessarily mean that's the only way of cooking.
When you look at people cooking in Britain - and Dubai, too - they're not that adventurous. They need to be encouraged somehow. And not everybody needs to be shouted at.
I've propelled myself into the media world and I've been able to get my style of cooking across with my personality.
I have a great time cooking and eating Thai green chicken curry.
I do not stick to rules when cooking. I rely on my imagination.
I can cook because my life depended on it when I lived in Thailand. Either I learnt cooking, or I learnt how it felt to starve. I chose cooking.
