I get so excited when I know I’m going to a good restaurant, then, when I do the review, I write myself up into such a frenzy that I have to go out and eat all over again.
Some critics think the way I write is somehow disrespectful to food. But how can you write a restaurant column without being entertaining?
My dad was undeniably famous when I was a kid - he was on Wogan and Clive James and the radio every week, but as far as I was concerned he wasn’t famous enough.
