Quote by -John Tiffany
Restaurant kitchens are highly pressurised environments, with lots of young men, and that means one thing: testosterone. It's not brutal - it's military. It is regimented, tough. People are put into compartments and have to do exactly what they're told or the whole thing falls apart.
Quote by -John Tiffany

Quote by -John Tiffany
If you go to a restaurant and you go with people you like, your food will always taste really good.

Quote by -John Tiffany
My food hero would be someone like Elizabeth David, because I think what she did for Britain was amazing. Also David Thompson, an Australian chef who does Thai food and really understands the basis of it, has always been very inspiring.

The most important aspect of a home is that it's a retreat, a place where you can laugh and cry.
Quote by -John Tiffany
My kind of cooking is not a single style - French, Asian, Australasian or British - it's not modern, old-fashioned or classic; it's a mix of all these things. And at its core is a boy who loved to cook with his Nanna.
Quote by -John Tiffany

Quote by -John Tiffany

Quote by -John Tiffany
Beaches are really important to me, and I love Sennen Cove and Perranporth Beach.
Quote by -John Tiffany

Quote by -John Tiffany
