The trouble with modern cooking is that the mood it induces in the cook is one of skin-of-the-teeth efficiency, all briskness and little pleasure.

How to be a Domestic Goddess (2000)

I wasn't good with authority, went to lots of schools, didn't like the fact that there was no autonomy.

I always wanted to be called Caroline [...] Carolines were always very nice in books.

I lurch from chaos to chaos. I can’t find my driving licence and my clothes are everywhere – cooking is the neatest thing I do.

I don't take criticisms personally, which must be very annoying for people who mean them personally.
