“I’m lazy but also impatient, so when I create recipes I think about how I can reduce the amount of work and washing up involved in cooking. I also don’t deep fry food because it’s a pain to clean the kitchen and dispose of oil. I don’t measure out seasonings, either. I can’t cook food that requires long periods of simmering. I don’t want to feel stressed about cooking, so I cook freely and enjoyably in my own way, without being bound by stereotypes or rules.”
