Miriam Clegg , pictured in Leicester Square today , lifted the lid on life at home with husband Nick and their three sons Alberto , Antonio and Miguel . Miriam Clegg today boasted that she is a much better cook than her husband Nick , as the political battle of the kitchens continued . The Lib Dem leader ’ s wife mocked Ed Miliband ’ s two kitchens , insisting she only had one and it did not have a sofa . She also agreed her husband is a ‘ dish ’ , spoke about her faith , and revealed how she won the battle to give their three sons Spanish names . The Spanish lawyer , who uses her maiden name Miriam González Durántez , used a series of interviews today to promote her Inspiring Women campaign to encourage school girls to reach their full potential . She said : ‘ This is not about famous women and celebrities This is about all women . When people say there are not enough women role models its because they do not realise that the role models are not necessarily always in glossy magazines . They surround me in the streets , right ? ‘ I think this is too important the girls realise they can look for role models wherever they are . They are all there , they just need to look for them. ’ She lifted the lid on life at home with husband Nick and their three sons Alberto , Antonio and Miguel . Appearing on LBC radio , she was quizzed about her recipe for croquetas , which she once cooked for Nigella Lawson . She insisted that she is a much better cook than Nick . ‘ When it comes to cooking there is no contest . I ’ m better . There are few things I will win , cooking is one of them. ’ In the run-up to the general election there has been much focus on the interior – and number – kitchens owned by politicians . After Mr Miliband posed in a small kitchenette with his wife Justine , it emerged that he had a larger kitchen on a lower floor . And David Cameron has been seen in both his Downing Street kitchen and at his constituency home in Oxfordshire , where he made his surprise vow not to seek a third term . The Prime Minister said last week : ‘ To me , the kitchen is where you spend all your time . It needs a sofa you can slump on , a table you can sit at , a kitchen you can cook in , a place children can do their homework. ’ But Mrs Clegg protested : ‘ I only one have kitchen and I don ’ t even have a sofa in my kitchen. ’ The Spanish lawyer , who uses her maiden name Miriam González Durántez , used a series of interviews today to promote her Inspiring Women campaign to encourage school girls to reach their full potential . Miriam Clegg boasted that she is a better cook than husband Nick , but insisted she only has one kitchen at their home in Putney , south west London . The couple met when they were studying in Belgium , and they married in 2000 . She denied that they met dancing , and was honest about what first attracted him to her : ‘ When you ’ re 20 you 're impressed by anything else but by the looks. ’ When LBC presenter Shelagh Fogarty remarked that the Lib Dem leader is a ‘ dish ’ , Mrs Clegg replied : Well that ’ s what I think. ’ But Fogarty went too far when she said he was ‘ good looking in a head boy kind of way ’ . Mrs Clegg shot back : ‘ You are talking about my husband ! ’ Mr Clegg spent the day answering questions at a Mumsnet event ( left ) and launching a Mental Health Charter for Sport and Recreation ( right ) Mrs Clegg is a staunch Catholic , and their sons are being brought up as Catholic despite Mr Clegg being an atheist . The family often attend Mass together in west London . She said : ‘ Listen I have faith and I have always that faith is a gift. , it has helped me in my own life to cope with some of the difficulties . ‘ This is probably too personal a comment but when I lost my father its what carried me through . I hope that I can pass it on to my children , or at least I will try to bring it there then it ’ s up to them to make up their mind . ‘ We are very tolerant generally of all faiths and in our families we have all sorts of faiths. ’ She also revealed how their three sons got Spanish first names . ‘ They ’ ve got Clegg afterwards , it was to compensate , ; ’ she said . Antonio was her father ’ s name ‘ so he couldn ’ t say no ’ , and she almost died when she was giving birth to Alberto ‘ so he had to give it to me ’ . Miguel is the patron saint of the village where she is from in Spain .
