My family makes these vinegars - out of everything from grapes to peaches and cherries. We go through the whole process with the giant vat and drainer, label them, and give them as Christmas presents.

We don't have the luxury of time. We spend more because of how we live, but it's important to be with our family and friends.

I tend to show everything I do to my family, to check they won't be offended.

When I was growing up in Mississippi - it was good Southern food... but I also grew up with a Greek family when other kids were eating fried okra, we were eating steamed artichokes. So I think it played a big part in my healthy cooking.

I'm just a public-schoolboy. I've got a degree. I'm from a middle-class family in Devon. I've got no story.
