00:00When I first started on TV, I think I was the very first, you know, professional chef to have his
00:05full BBC series.
00:07And today, I suppose, I have a little bit of pride on watching chefs on TV.
00:13And the reason for that, many of them have worked for me.
00:16So if you look at some of the big names at the moment, Tom Kerridge,
00:20he worked for me for two years when he was first coming up through his training.
00:24Really good young lad in the kitchen, and I just am proud of them.
00:28I'm really proud to see that's a man now, a two Michelin star chef.
00:32So he has not only proved himself in the industry and in the professional, with that professional status,
00:38but at the same time has enough personality and is not only within himself, but within his food,
00:44and to tell that story on TV.
00:46Another one is Nathan Outlaw, who worked with me in London for a little while.
00:51Another two Michelin star chef.
00:52Got his restaurant down in Cornwall.
00:55Again, another great talented, but one of my old boys.
00:57And that's how I like to look at them.
00:59And then you've got Gordon Ramsay, a great friend of mine now for, I don't know, 25 years or more,
01:07who, okay, he can be a bit ruthless on the TV every now and again,
01:11but as a person, not only is he a true gentleman,
01:16but on top of that, he's still a three Michelin star chef.
01:20And I think people forget that.
01:23And I think he's more than proved himself as one of the great British chefs of all time.
01:30I think the new fashion started late last year, but I think 2019 is the big year for it.
01:35And that's probably vegan, because more and more people are wanting to become vegan,
01:42wanting to become as healthy as they possibly can,
01:46which, you know, there's not a bad thing at all.
01:48And I think that'll spread across the whole of the world.
01:52And that's how it's going to be.
01:52And that's how it's going to be.
01:52And that's how it's going to be.
