| James Martin |
James Martin was born into the chef's
life: his father ran the catering side of Castle Howard stately home in
Yorkshire and, when he was only 12, James could boast that he'd cooked
for the Queen Mother on her visit there.
At 16, he
went to Scarborough Technical College to begin his formal training.
While there, he was student of the year for three years running. His
work was noticed by Antony Worrall Thompson, who brought James to London
to work. James then travelled throughout France working in the kitchens
of French châteaux.
At 21, James opened the new
Hotel and Bistro du Vin in Winchester where, as head chef, he changed
the menu every day. His TV career started in 1996 when he became a
regular team member on Ready Steady Cook; he went on to present Saturday
Kitchen and has appeared in dozens of TV shows since.
