In the early days of her relationship with husband John Torode, Lisa Faulkner had to explain to him her somewhat “uncheffy” recipes.
“I remember when I made my microwaved chocolate cake in a mug. He was like, ‘I can’t believe you can stick all the mix in the microwave and it will work?’,” she says. “OK, you’re not going to get the lightest cake, but you’re still going to get a cake, John!”
Since then, John, 57 says he has “learnt a lot” from his wife’s simple approach to food.
