Tom Aikens: "For children to grow something simple from a very early, eating it, tasting it, making something with it, is priceless."

Tom Aikens was the youngest British chef to receive two Michelin stars, and is a huge advocate for farming - what he can't grow himself, he sources from British farmers for his restaurants.
