Neven Maguire: There were 11 people to feed in my house and soup was a staple

'My mother who was a great cook and used a lot of produce grown at home'

What is a dish that brings you back to your childhood?

Vegetable and chicken soup with homemade wheaten bread. There were 11 people to feed in my house and that was a staple. It always reminds me of my mother who was a great cook and used a lot of produce grown at home. We do that in the restaurant today. Stew also brings me back, particularly to a day when she asked me to put in some cornflour to thicken a stew and I put in the whole packet and ruined it!
