This much I know: Donal Skehan

I was a pretty laid back child. The ambition only came later, when I left school and realised there was a big bad world out there.

Nigel Slater is my food hero, he’s one of the top people I’d like to cook for.

I get ideas for recipes from many areas, but especially from travelling. We were in Vietnam and Thailand recently and I have a whole load of dishes which I’m trying to recreate for the next book.
