‘Jock’s legacy lies in his children and his work, and both have given me great purpose over the last year.

‘I have focused on the children and they are doing very well, in fact they are thriving and have found their new normal. I think we created two extraordinary little people there.’

Lauren went on to explain how she plans to share Jock’s legacy with her fans, saying she wants to focus on posting never-before-seen content from the chef.

She continued: ‘So now I just want to focus on work.

“I have hundreds and hundreds of hours of Jock cooking his favorite recipes, explaining what vinegar or oil he used on different things, things he discovered on our travels, fun behind-the-scenes stuff, interviews, and it’s part of my life that I want to start sharing with everyone again.

‘I’ll start posting again as soon as I can. Try to treat them as usual, if you have any questions about the recipe or method, just ask, write it in the comments and if I can’t answer it, I’ll ask one of your fellow chefs to do it.

“The purpose of publishing it is for us to enjoy it, for us to enjoy Jock, so I hope that’s the case.”
