FOOD cooking up for the Garlic festival! doing my cooking, but no, I have never been to the Isle of Wight. I am really looking forward to it, even though it’s only for a flying visit. I’ve heard so much about the Island and the lovely local produce. The garlic festival is known internationally, so I’m quite excited to be there. Who is your favourite TV Chef ? There are so many good chefs on TV these days, but to me Anthony Bourdain is a legend. However, Jamie Oliver just makes everything look so simple, which is good because people can relate to simple cooking. I also think that Donna Hay’s food always looks stunning. When did you start cooking, and why? I remember my mother always made my brother and me help in the kitchen when we were kids, which was good. Then, when I moved out, I had to cook for myself - otherwise I would have gone hungry! w
