Growing up, my dad was the ultimate person for open-mindedness.

I spent ages learning to take photos, which was a lot of fun, and I think it really helped readers get excited about the recipes.

My aim is to get people excited about eating more veggies and seeing them as delicious ingredients rather than a chore.

The free-from aisle is the most depressing place in the supermarket.

My family moved a lot as a kid. We started in Colorado, where I lived for five years. We moved to Chicago for two years, to San Francisco for one year, Connecticut for seven, Oregon for a couple years, and then I went to school.

In my neighborhood growing up, 8, 10,12 kids were the norm. Those stay-at-home moms would handle so much physically and emotionally. Even in my early teens, I could tell those ladies were something.

Proper British nannies put the child ahead of everything. They do not like to see children used as accessories, carried around in slings for the convenience of the parents' social life. They want a proper set-up, where the baby is rested and happy, not shown off to all-comers.

I'm so happy with my family, my career and my friends, and I'd like for them to be here forever, so I guess loss is what scares me the most.
