00:00Please, welcome back, Andy!
00:09Sophia!
00:13Hose!
00:16And John Christophe Novelli!
00:19I don't cook for myself, I cook for my family.
00:22Everything I do is to please them.
00:24And then I just eat whatever...
00:27I'm not actually that, to be honest.
00:30It's funny, this is very true, I don't cook to please me,
00:33or because I'm starving, because I want them to eat.
00:36And that starts from the beginning.
00:38I make sauté potatoes, some black pudding for my little son,
00:41who he just, he just, he died, doesn't want anything else.
00:45He goes a bit of cheese, a bit of squares of toast,
00:48his little raisins, and then he's sautéed for the morning.
00:50Then my son, eggs. I don't care, eggs.
00:54If they let, eggs. So they have eggs and a banana.
00:57My wife, she's...
00:58Oh yeah, I make always an omelette for her,
01:00with avocado and cheese, she loves that.
01:03She loves it.
01:07And I know, I've got the knife to do it well too, by the way,
01:09so that's great.
01:11On the evening, I make something which is more likely,
01:15yeah, it's not difficult.
01:18It's whatever I get in the fridge, whatever I go to the shop.
01:22I try to be as versatile as possible,
01:25but I always make sure they always eat broccolis.
01:28Every single day, they eat at least a minimum,
01:32I don't know, 300 grams of broccolis each.
01:34Even my wife.
01:35She tell me off, I don't care.
01:37Eat the broccolis.
01:38So, it's more about being healthy.
01:40Shopping is very important.
01:42Shopping many times.
01:45Shopping fresh.
01:46I mean, luckily in Australia, which is a different world, of course.
01:50Why are you so far?
01:52Why is Australia so far from Europe?
01:55In Australia, you see paper bags everywhere.
01:57So you can only carry so much.
01:59I love it.
02:00I know there is a different purpose.
02:02So just buy fresh.
02:03And try to cook twice when you are doing it once.
02:08Think of the leftover.
02:11Do a little bit more.
02:13My freezer in a...
02:15I had to use two freezers in a hotel.
02:18Because I've got plenty samples of things left.
02:21And those things can be one or two.
02:24It's very true.
02:25Together, for one dish.
02:27Cook to please yourself first.
02:29I mean, I don't have to.
02:30But try to please yourself.
02:31If you please, you will please anybody else around you.
02:34And also, not to be scared to go back to your grandma recipes.
02:41They're the best.
02:42You know, your mom, your dad, or your granddad, or whatever, or your neighbors.
02:47Back in a generation where they knew that was the real time.
02:51You know, if my mom was not a good cook, oh, I would have never been a chef today.
02:58I was watching her.
03:00I was watching her, pardon.
03:01When I was a kid with this, you know, being obviously unsatisfied and super hyperactive.
03:13I was always starving.
03:15So, my senses, some of my senses start to play around.
03:19When she starts cooking, onion, mmm, I love that.
03:21This, you know, this and that.
03:22So, I knew she was going to make a soup.
03:23No, it's not.
03:24So, I was detecting before she cooked.
03:26And then I was trying to get myself around her to try to help to do the washing up or,
03:33I don't know, doing the garlic.
03:36Just purely just to put my finger in a dish.
03:39And I drawing myself away to get, not to have love from her because she was not actually,
03:45you know, kissing all the time.
03:47She was quite, but her way of passing love was through cooking.
03:52She was very quiet actually, quite, very strong.
03:54And I know my way to, you know, when you try to schmooze someone.
03:58So, I did that to be closer to the pot.
04:01And when she turned her back, I was trying to, and that was my way to understand the basic.
04:07Even it's not to make a pancake or to do, I don't know, simple soups.
04:14It is.
04:15And then you grow and keep adding something.
04:18So, when you're satisfied, don't get bored.
04:21Just add something else, you know.
04:23And try to use anything as an ingredient or keep in your cupboard that your grandmother
04:34or your granddad would have and not buy.
04:39When you see the amount of, excuse my French, of beep, beep, beep, that is in some shops.
04:45On the shelf, that space, oh my God, could be used for something else.
04:50Yeah.
04:51Yeah.
04:51So, I'm not here to make changes, you know.
04:54It's there for a reason.
04:55But I am not going to accept that in my house, trust me.
04:59So, take your time.
05:00Don't go shopping.
05:02Spend, you know, spend as much time to go shopping, plan it, as much as you go out to socialize.
05:10I don't have an empty stomach.
05:13I don't have an empty stomach.
05:14I don't have empty stomach.
