"The way to get to like good food is by learning to cook, which is why I'm for ever banging on about ..." — Prue Leith

I grew up in a very white, privileged, old-fashioned society in South Africa and went to a boarding school run by nuns.

People don't always behave the same way on different programmes. If you go to church you don't behave the same way you do at a party in the middle of the night.

I just hate television that's out to make people cry because other people like to see people cry.

The most important thing is to teach children to cook at schools. And not only to cook but to understand about where their food comes from.
