Five Minutes with Manu Feildel

HE’S the cheeky French chef who danced his way into our hearts on last season's Dancing with the Stars. But long before this showman could dance he cooked, cutting his teeth on shows like Ready Steady Cook, Masterchef and My Kitchen Rules. I spent five minutes with the flirty Frenchman in the lead up to this year's Good Food and Wine Show. Here's what he had to say:

INSPIRATION:
Cooking in Choos:In the cooking world is there anybody that inspires you?
Manu:
My family is full of cooks - they all inspired me to cook.

Cooking in Choos:Do you have a  cooking philosophy?
Manu:
Cook with love, and keep it simple.   Using great, fresh, local ingredients and cooking it simply is the best rule   in the kitchen.

Manu:
Your truffles - AMAZING!!!! Just don’t tell my friends back in France!
