A Chef's Palate Is BORN Out Of His CHILDHOOD, And One THING All Chefs Have In Common Is A MOTHER Who Can Cook.

It's In EVERY Person's Life, Around 27 To 29 Years OLD, The Stars And The Planets ALIGN Themselves To EXACTLY The Way They Were When You Were Born. You're Faced With Yourself. There's No RUNNING Away.

I Was Born Too Late For Steam Trains And A Lazy EYE MEANT I'd Never Be An ASTRONAUT.

My Father Is Nigerian; My MOTHER Is From Texas And AFRICAN-AMERICAN. My Father Was The First In His Family To Go To UNIVERSITY. He Flew From Nigeria To LOS Angeles In The '70s To Go To UCLA, Where He Met My Mother. They Broke Up Before I Was Born, And He RETURNED To Nigeria.

When I CAME Out, I Found I Hadn't Been Born With The Right Genes. It's Quite Brutal. If You're BEAUTIFUL And You Have The Right Genes, Then The Gay Scene Is A PLACE Where You Can Be Worshipped. But If You Don't, It's A DIFFERENT Ball Of Wax.

I Was BORN And Brought Up In London, So I Couldn't Speak Hindi Properly. But As I Am Socialising More With My Hindi SPEAKING Friends, I'm GETTING BETTER At The Language.

Without Knowing It, As A Child I Overcame A Lot Thanks To REALLY Doting, Loving PARENTS And A Great FAMILY And A Hard Work Ethic On My Part.

I Wasn't BORN A Redhead, But I Was Born To Be A Redhead.

I Was Always FASCINATED, EVEN As A Child, By Antiques And Ancient Times. I Always Felt I Should Have Been Born In The 17th Or 18th Century. They Really Had A Big Stone CASTLE With Authentic FURNITURE.
