He frames the comfort-food choice as a family memory that shaped his love of cooking.

Overview

  • He says his chosen final menu would be meat pie with mashed potatoes, parsley sauce and jellied eels.
  • He describes the dishes as British comfort food tied to meals his mother made and to his grandfather’s favorites.
  • He credits his mother, Sandra, for teaching him to cook and says he remains keen on traditional recipes like liver and bacon.
  • He notes that two of his children love liver while the other two dislike it, reflecting mixed tastes at home.
  • He typically cooks for the family and recently joked on Instagram about keeping Victoria out of the kitchen, as detailed in the Oct. 22 Country Life issue he guest-edited alongside reflections on his Cotswolds country life, Epping Forest memories and friend Guy Ritchie’s influence.
