Robinson Crusoe when I was about 14 years old. I was fascinated by the idea of living on a desert island and all the adventures I could have.
What I ate in one year, by Stanley Tucci
I love it as no matter what he’s doing or how busy he is, he places meals as a very important part of his day, enjoys eating well and has the deepest respect for food and ingredients always.
Italy – I love the markets to see what local produce is available and the small family-run trattorie where I’ve eaten some of the best meals. This is food I love to eat and
enjoy recreating at home for my books.
Never waste food!! Leftovers can be made into some wonderful unexpected meals.
I wish I had paid more attention at school and continued with my studies!! My schooling was minimal and through life I have had to learn the hard way!!
