Maggie tells of how for her, food and happiness are intertwined …

 
When are you at your happiest? Sitting around the table with my family and close friends with beautiful food, beautiful music and beautiful wine. My family, my friends, my food and music are all such a very important part of my life.
 
What does happiness mean to you? It’s sharing. Happiness is when I’m singing with my group of friends every Wednesday night. Happiness is the light in my step when I’m with my family. It’s so many things, I couldn’t say it is just one thing – it is my life.
 
Can love conquer all? I think love in the true sense of the word and in a very wide sense of the word, can conquer all. If you feel loved you feel positive about things, so in its wider sense, yes.
 
Why is love so important? Who would be without it? I couldn’t imagine life without it. I would be lost without
it. The love of many things – the love of my husband and my children and my grandchildren and friends. It fills your heart.
 
“You must have a vision of what it is that you have a point of difference about and really, absolutely love it ...”
 
Maggie Beer
