"I’ ve always taken an interest in food, as it was such a big part of my family life – my parents had a farm, and each morning they would go to collect the produce that we would then eat at home. The smell of a fresh tomato...nothing like it! I’m from a small town in rural Spain, so food is a huge part of our culture. I’m not sure I was a great help, but the first dish I remember ‘helping’ with is lentil stew – my mum would let them cook for what seemed like days & I think I was allowed to stir every now & again!"
