Women - the world's best chefs, because they understand everything the first time.

Celery root is one of the ugliest vegetables. Looks disgusting. Perhaps that is why it is not valued. But although appearance and also have a inside delicious.

People often ask me: first I'm a celebrity and then chief? The answer was and is "no." I spent the last twenty years in the kitchen and built a company to sit on a yacht in the South of France.

On critics sometimes attack skepticism. It's really hard when your job every day to go somewhere to eat, and so continued for ten years, and there's a new place, and you have any strength and enthusiasm left. Not to say that I really don't pay attention to reviews, I still accept them at his own expense, but not as much as before. At the same time, critics will riot if we prepare really crappy food.

I understand that it is not going to pay for lazy people in other countries out of pocket. I lost 1.3 million euros in Paris because the French are lazy. Want to work 32 hours a week and consider myself a consummate chefs. Yes what they are doing for the week, we here in the UK, two days will do it.

Remember that weird moment when I was standing on Downing street between Blair and Putin, had to cook them lunch and thought: "*** (kapets) what! I really want to participate in it?" It was a bit scary.

I never took drugs, although my brother is still on heroin. Actually not many chefs can do without substances, it's almost the norm in our industry.

I love America because I do not live there. I love Britain because it made me who I am.

My childhood was hard. Father was a washed-up alcoholic, mother day worked as a cook, and at night the nurse.

I was just fucking crazy. If someone is incorrectly cut, for example, garlic - I charged him like mad and was forced to redo it. It was hard, but I had to screw it up for him, or what? But to continue in this spirit then I don't want to. Although a little pressure is helpful, it is a great motivator.

To know about the food people have no less than about mathematics or about your own language.
