Look, I owe a lot of my cooking skills to mum.

She's not a chef, but she's definitely a cook.

Mum has the innate ability to just whatever's in the cupboard to make it into something great.

It'll taste good.

It's probably just extra salt.

I learnt that from Adam Liao when I did a cooking show with him.

He said, if you want something to taste like restaurant quality, more butter, more oil, more salt.

That's it.

That's how you make things taste great.

But I think my go-to is...

I think it is, it's just whipping up whatever I can find in the cupboard and just turning it into anything, whether it's a pasta or a stir fry or even like I just had an old steak that was in the freezer and I found some rice and I just, and I was like, oh, I've got some honey and some garlic and soy.

So I just made like...

Just a beautiful little dressing for the – a little marinade for the steak.

And, yeah, I made that the other night.

Yeah.

I think it came from – as I said, I think it came from mum.

I mean, we didn't grow up with no money, but we didn't grow up with – like, we weren't poor, poor.

But, like, there was definitely times mum was like, we have to eat whatever's in the cupboard.

Yeah.

I think mum's always played a very encouraging role in my like performing career.
