Happy Birthday Jamie Oliver!

What I've enjoyed most, though, is meeting people who have a real interest in food and sharing ideas with them. Good food is a global thing and I find that there is always something new and amazing to learn - I love it!

Kochen ist eine lebenswichtige Fähigkeit, die wir verloren haben.

I challenge you, to go to any school and open 50 lunchboxes, and I guarantee you there will be one or two cans of Red Bull, there'll be cold McDonald's and jam sandwiches with several cakes.

Ich wurde in meinen Beruf hinein geboren.

I'm probably a bit romantic about it, but I think we humans miss having contact with fire. We need it.

Ich fand es toll, wie alle gemeinsam Leckereien kochten und sich freuten.

Just because the Americans are so good at rattling out accessible and cheap junk food, nobody looks twice when it comes to their food. But there are golden nuggets everywhere.

I could cook from quite an early age - purely because I liked it.

If you only design menus that are essentially junk or fast food, the whole infrastructure supports junk.

When I was a schoolkid, I went to Castleton quite a few times. We'd be there studying rocks, going down these big hills. It was a great place!

I want Americans to enjoy food. I want them to celebrate food. I want them to, on occasions, to have big cakes and great things. And I want them to indulge.

I think there are definitely two types of student: the academic kids and the 50% who fail. It's very clear to see - it's fact. We're not doing enough for those who fail; they need a more physical, tactile approach, involving people skills, team-building, problem-solving, building things.

God, why do I give interviews to 'the Guardian'? They always try to dissect you, and I don't really think about stuff in the way that you're asking me these questions.

I wouldn't say that processed food, ready meals and even takeaways aren't relevant to modern life, it's just that over the past 40 years there are three generations of people who have come out of school and gone through their home life without ever being shown how to cook properly.

Many kids can tell you about drugs but do not know what celery or courgettes taste like.

We're in a situation now where weight and extreme weight and heart disease is the biggest killer in this country today.

Stop being a vegan and start enjoying what you eat.

My general rule is that if everyone knew how to cook fresh produce from their local area, and Monday to Thursday within 20 minutes, you know, there's millions of recipes out there to be had.

It's very clear that there's a lot of double standards going on. Should there be a 30mph speed limit? Of course there bloody should. And certainly with kids and school food, kids need to be nannied for sure. So give them a bloody good meal at school.

The public health of five million children should not be left to luck or chance.

My first outdoor cooking memories are full of erratic British summers, Dad swearing at a barbecue that he couldn't put together, and eventually eating charred sausages, feeling brilliant.

In England, you're allowed to have an opinion - as long as it comes out of your mouth.

All I ever wanted to do was to make food accessible to everyone; to show that you can make mistakes - I do all the time - but it doesn't matter.

It's just us trying to start a movement where everybody passes on a bit of cooking knowledge. We estimate that one person can potentially affect 180 others very quickly so we're just trying to spread the word.

The kitchen oven is reliable, but it's made us lazy.

Give your kids a bloody knife and fork and let me put some fresh food in front of them they can eat.

It's not the extremes and the treats that are the problem. It's the everyday.

As usual, my timing is bizarrely good.
