My first taste memory is of our nanny in South Africa making white bread sandwiches with salad cream, which was potato mashed with a cheap mayonnaise thing with bits in it of - I suppose - pickled cucumber. I absolutely loved them.
One summer I was made housekeeper to my own family, making menus and shopping lists. It was my mother's idea of teaching me to be a grown-up. The main thing I remember is my father being so delighted to get roast duck.
People often ask what my favourite food is, but the answer depends on what I last ate. I love sausages and mash. But if I'd already eaten them for lunch, then you asked me at tea-time, I'd probably answer 'crab salad.'
I probably eat yogurt more than anything else.
Nobody thought a white girl should learn to cook in South Africa. I went to drama school. My mother was an actress, so I thought I'd be an actress.
My worst habit is opening the fridge and thinking: 'I'd like to eat something.'
Bake Off' has been a renaissance for me. I turn up, taste something and get paid rather well. What could be nicer?
I'm an optimist - very glass half-full.
Before 'Bake Off,' frankly, if you'd asked most people on the bus if they'd ever heard of me, it would probably only have been those aged over 55. But if they were 15, they wouldn't have, and that's the difference with 'Bake Off' - it's loved across the generations.
We had two children, who are still adored, they adore me and we're very close. Rayne was 20 years older than me. He died when he was 80, so he had a really good life.
I adored the celebrity 'Bake Offs.' They have a more relaxed atmosphere. They all come on thinking they're not competitive so there's a lot of larking around, then of course they get the 'Bake Off' bug and want to win and it's funny.
Nobody should eat too much cake.
You can serve good food on a budget provided you don't waste it.
I get cross with foodies who think hospital food should be Michelin-star and caterers can fall into this trap.
Food shouldn't do you any harm, obviously you don't want a bad diet, but it should be one of life's great pleasures.
If you eat good ingredients, and moderately, it should not be a problem. If you look at the bakers over the years, how many obese bakers have there been? There have been a few - nobody's saying you can't join 'Bake Off' if you're obese - but by and large bakers, just like cooks, are not particularly overweight.
I'm nicknamed the 'food tsar' by the press. I'm always giving my opinion on things like; 'Don't nanny children,' although children sometimes do need a nanny. Being a judge on 'Great British Menu' reinforces this image of me.
People say I'm a celebrity chef, and I am on telly a lot but that's because I judge contests. Perhaps I'm more of a celebrity eater than a cook.
I can't resist temptation of any kind.
I've been an entrepreneur, a writer, a food correspondent. I might have been an architect - but I'm bad at maths.
I didn't actually know what a treasure 'The Great British Bake Off' was, so I just thought, 'oh it'll be fun to do that, I'd like to do that.' Then when I went and had to have an audition and meet Paul Hollywood, I suddenly thought, 'this is really important.'
I've baked more cakes since I've been on 'Bake Off' than I have in my life.
Very few parents give out healthy lunchboxes due to pressure from their children.
The most important thing is to teach children to cook at schools. And not only to cook but to understand about where their food comes from.
I just hate television that's out to make people cry because other people like to see people cry.
People don't always behave the same way on different programmes. If you go to church you don't behave the same way you do at a party in the middle of the night.
I came through the Sixties so I was perfectly aware of drug-taking but I came from South Africa and we were brought up in quite an old-fashioned way. If I went to a rave or a party, I'd be behind the barbecue flipping the burgers. I wasn't out there partying.
