Chef James Martin joins Jackie Stewart on a road trip through the Alps in a classic supercar to retrace the life and career of the three-time Formula One world champion. Self-confessed motor-racing fanatic James then discovers how Jackie’s relentless safety crusade lives on in the vehicles of today and faces the challenge of driving one of his Grand Prix-winning cars around the Monza circuit in northern Italy.

Thank you for your support and apologies to everyone affected by this !

As you maybe aware the Leeds Kitchen sadly closed due to circumstances out of my control. I was assured that everyone who had made reservations would be informed, which a large percentage of people were, but sadly some people were not. I do thank you for bringing this to my attention and I can only apologise on my behalf for any inconvenience and upset caused. Please contact leedsenquiries@aleacasinos.com who will respond to your enquiry and refund any vouchers that have been purchased for Leeds Kitchen. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you all again for your custom over the years, I was hugely passionate about Leeds Kitchen and its team and it is unfortunate that it has come to an end. J

United Cakes of America

Operation Hospital

I’m really excited about the next 24hrs as I’ve got two new programmes starting that are very different but that I’m equally proud of.

Tonight sees the start of United Cakes of America on the Good Food Channel. I had a challenging time driving a 1980’s Cadillac across the country stopping off along the way to meet some amazing people and to sample their best cake recipes and food. You can read more stuff about it on The Good Food blog.

Travelling a bit closer to home and revisiting a subject I’m really passionate about is Operation Hospital Food which starts at 9.15am on BBC One tomorrow. This time I’m in Birmingham tackling the issue of poor hospital food. I really believe good food can be like a medicine to patients which is why it’s so important for us to get it right. Scarborough and the team there have gone onto to do amazing things and all at no extra cost. Better still the restaurant is now a destination and Pat’s Place is on the culinary map. I recently did an interview with Good Housekeeping magazine which you can read here.

I hope you can tune in, if not set them to record, sky plus or I player stuff! J

Every penny made will go to Weston Park Cancer Hospital, The Cavendish Centre and Anthony Nolan.

LIFE, FORK & SPOON: James Martin Dishes Delivered Directly to Your Door

I am pleased to announce a new service which will bring specially created meals by me, directly to your door. Life, Fork & Spoon is my latest venture to ensure that once in a while you can treat yourself to top quality food without having to go out to a restaurant or spend hours preparing everything from scratch!

Over the last few months I have been busy in the kitchen developing this new range of products with my team of experienced chefs. You can click onto the Life, Fork & Spoon website and choose from a selection of starters, main courses and puddings and order for next day delivery. Some are fresh, others are snap frozen after cooking, to ensure maximum freshness, and can then be stored in your freezer for a special occasion or as a stand-by when you are too tired to lift a pan or for those impromptu meals. Some are ready to eat whenever you are ready. They are all prepared with the best ingredients and cooked with care and passion.

Simply click on the dish you want and add it to your shopping basket and it will arrive at your door the next day, with delivery time slots available for your maximum convenience.

We have something for every taste and for every occasion. For a snack or lunch choose from our range of hand crimped pies
