I absolutely love jumping on a plane. I find it to be one of the most wonderful, releasing experiences in the world. Nobody can call me and I have my own space where I can do whatever I want. For some people a long-haul flight is an ordeal, but I love every bit of it.
Quote by -John Tiffany
Cooking is what I do professionally and it is my way of life, but it is also the way I relax. It is the thing I dream about the most; it makes me smile.
Quote by -John Tiffany
My second marriage to Jessica just fell apart. It was nothing to do with restaurants.
Quote by -John Tiffany
I do think about how different my life might have been had my mother not died so young, but I try not to delve into it too deeply, as it's like 'Sliding Doors,' isn't it? You just don't know.
Quote by -John Tiffany
The inspiration to cook came from my grandmother and my father who were both wonderful home cooks. But I would say I taught myself. You travel, you discover the world, you explore books - it is these things that make a great cook.
Quote by -John Tiffany
For the children it will always be a lemonade float at the Christmas table as a special treat.
Quote by -John Tiffany
I'm not someone who jumps in a car to make for the country, I'm an urbanite. I love living in London and there's always something going on.
Quote by -John Tiffany
I already have my fantasy job. I run a restaurant and film 'MasterChef,' both of which mean I get to cook and eat - and get paid for it.
Quote by -John Tiffany
If I go to a restaurant the last thing I want to do is sit with somebody I don't like because then the food always tastes awful.
Quote by -John Tiffany
We're all so busy we don't make time to enjoy our lives, good company and good food.
Quote by -John Tiffany
Cooking steak is a joy because it is a terrific piece of meat that has great flavour whether it is grilled or pan-fried.
Quote by -John Tiffany
My earliest memory of cooking is my grandmother showing me how to make chicken gravy on the big combustion stove in her kitchen. I still use Nana's gravy recipe.
Quote by -John Tiffany
I think restaurants and family homes and stuff are about conversation and about chatting. Food is there because you want to enjoy it and have fun with it but I'm not there to study it - I'm there to spend time with my friends.
Quote by -John Tiffany
My affinity for beef extends into my home life, so you'll notice canvas prints of cows, a cowhide rug and prints of Smithfield meat market.
Quote by -John Tiffany
On Christmas morning breakfast is always thick slices of ham, thick white toast, butter and pepper - oh and a glass of fizz!
Quote by -John Tiffany
Yes, I am a judge on 'MasterChef,' where I taste thousands of dishes, and yes I am a trained chef which has had me commanding some of the biggest brigands a kitchen has ever seen. Yes, I have travelled the world and cooked on television and at food shows up and down the country, but in my heart I am a home cook.
Quote by -John Tiffany
I'm a culture person when I'm working, so my downtime is beach time: sand, surf and a barbecue.
Quote by -John Tiffany
The most used thing I have is my wok. I prefer it to a pan or pot. It is my wonder. They're really easy to clean, I am a lazy cook like that, so it appeals.
Quote by -John Tiffany
As I'd travelled, I'd seen more and more people drinking rose. Given the amount of grapes we grow in Australia, I just said, 'Why wouldn't we be making rose?'
Quote by -John Tiffany
In our family a whole ham on the bone would be bought three days before Christmas, and then stored in a pillow case and left in the fridge so anyone can take the huge thing out and slice it.
Quote by -John Tiffany
The food I had as a child was not complicated, but by heck it was tasty. My Nanna's cauliflower cheese was awesome, her caramel slice wonderful and I am still searching for a recipe to make her apple tea cake.
Quote by -John Tiffany
I have to admit to not being a great turkey fan unless they come from Paul Kelly at Kelly Turkeys.
Quote by -John Tiffany
People think the restaurant industry is hard and takes no prisoners, but so does baking, so does retail and so does bus driving. You can't blame your job.
Quote by -John Tiffany
I want people to throw on a hat, head out into the outback and see the real Australia. You can do it how you want - independently in a 4WD, camping under the stars, or being treated like a king in a luxury homestead or on a cruise.
Quote by -John Tiffany
Sydney has the world's best swimming pool. Walk through the Botanical Gardens and you come to the Andrew 'Boy' Charlton Pool on Mrs Macquaries Road, with incredible views of Finger Wharf and the Harbour.
Quote by -John Tiffany
I never use organic vegetables. Why would you want to? The idea of taking a courgette grown in a third-world country in an organic field, packed into a polystyrene box, flown across the oceans, washed in chlorinated water, packed into a foam box, driven halfway across the country, wrapped in plastic and stamped 'organic,' what's the point?
Quote by -John Tiffany
Street stalls, be they in Korea, Thailand or anywhere else in Asia, in a covered market or simply on a street corner with a few brightly coloured plastic stools and tables, are my favourite places in the world to eat.
Quote by -John Tiffany
The culinary world is a fascinating place that has been influenced over the centuries by culture, religion, fashion, war, art, science and, more recently, globalisation.
Quote by -John Tiffany
Raft Point is among the greatest examples of ancient indigenous art we know of.
Quote by -John Tiffany
I have no qualms with people who want to be vegetarians; it's just foolish. They are missing out on the best things in life: meat, cheese, proper Christmas pudding.
Quote by -John Tiffany
Those who know me well will tell you that I love a market, and when I say market, I mean food market. No matter where in the world, they allow me to soak up the culture, to hear the rhythmic chattering of the local people and traders, and take in the all-important smells, pungent and intoxicating.
