A lot of great food as well as great entertainment.

Teamwork, cooking with love and understanding what ingredients and flavours work well together.

What are your Top 3 kitchen rules?

Cook with love, remove inflammatory foods and celebrate organic produce.

Can you remember the first dish you ever cooked at home?

I do remember making an omelette as a kid which was a lot of fun.

What is your favourite, go-to, home cooked meal these days?

Usually a good salad or roast or soup.

What are your tips for hosting a successful dinner party?

Cook nutrient dense food that is delicious.

Yourself and Manu are at the kitchen sink after dinner… who washes and who dries?

I would wash up.

What is the best thing about working with Manu after all these years?

We both have a deep respect for each other’s friendship.

Finally, is there such a thing as too much sauce?

Never if it is good.
