Food can bring people together in a way nothing else could.

Swiss chard is undervalued in Britain. It's a great substitute for spinach and keeps its shape well.

I am sure that in the story of Adam and Eve, the forbidden fruit was a fig and not an apple, pear or anything else.

I cannot cook to save my life. I'm really frighteningly useless, when you get down to it.

Me in a cape? I don't fancy that. Tight tights? Nah! I don't think that's right for me. I just respond more to true stories; that's my flavour.

James Bond is quite serious about his drinks and clothing and cigarettes and food and all that sort of thing. There is nothing wry or amused about James Bond.
