“If you hurry the cooking of an onion, all is lost.”
“I would win Ready, Steady, Cook. I would be very good at that.”
“I don’t like gadgets that lock you out of the cooking process.”
“Whenever there is a new fashionable ingredient, I tend to feel sorry about the old ones. So, I pivot to carrots.”
“Channelling Alex’s radical optimism, where are you all going to find joy in the next year?
Wherever we bloody well can!"
"Joy is in the small things. The way the light falls in through a curtain. Or having a vodka-martini so cold it hurts. Or the perfectly constructed sentence in a book you’re reading. I don’t know you can start worrying about where it should best come from.”
“The connections we build with people is the thing we really build our lives from. It starts with the personal. That’s how we make a better future.”
“The small unexpected kindnesses give me joy, because they give me hope, that there is something underneath all the darkness, and we just have to find a way to mine it.”
