James Martin Author & Editor

James Martin has made a great impact since he began to appear on television in November '96 and has rarely been off screen since. He has been in numerous programmes including Ready Steady Cook, Kitchen Invaders, Housecall, Richard and Judy, and Good Food Live. He is now the much-loved host of Saturday Kitchen Live on BBC1. His love of food started very young. His father ran the catering at Castle Howard and when he was only twelve, he was able to say that he had cooked for the Queen Mother. He has worked at 190 Queensgate with Anthony Worrall Thompson and was Head Chef of the Hotel and Bistro du Vin in Winchester when he was only 22, with an eight-week waiting list for weekend dinners. His numerous successful cookbooks include Delicious, Great British Dinners, Eating in with James Martin, Saturday Kitchen Cookbook, The Collection, James Every Day, and My Kitchen.
