JAMES MARTIN COOKING LIVE

SATURDAY 4TH JULY

A photo of celebrity chef James Martin wearing a black velvet blazer with asparagus in his breast pocket, set against a dark gradient background.

James Martin made a great impact with his television debut in November ‘96 and has rarely been off our TV screens since. He was a regular chef on Ready Steady Cook (BBC2), and in 2006 he reached the semi-finals of Strictly Come Dancing (BBC1). James went on to present BBC1 ’s hit series Saturday Kitchen for 10 years, regularly attracting viewers in excess of 3.5 million. James is undoubtedly one of the most recognisable chef's in the UK today.

Growing up in nearby Malton, just 7 miles from Galtres Park, James' career began at Castle Howard, where his father ran the catering and James often helped out. He was Student of the Year three years running at Scarborough Technical College. At the tender age of 22, he opened the Hotel and Bistro du Vin in Winchester as Head Chef and for three years James had his restaurant at The Talbot, in Malton.  James has never appeared at a food festival in this area before, so his appearance at Flavours of Yorkshire is something of a homecoming! 

A custom built 'pop-up' theatre will be created especially for this event inside the Galtres Park Arena. James will be cooking up a storm and big screens will show the close-up worktop action, so you won't miss any of the finer culinary details.

Being passionate about celebrating British food, James uses the best ingredients possible to create simple, delicious recipes that are accessible to all. A number of the traders you will find at Flavours of Yorkshire have featured on James' TV show and some of their products will also be included in these demos.

Each demo will also include a Q&A session where you can ask James those burning questions.

James is an accomplished author and a selection of his books will be available to purchase at the event from the Kemps Festival Bookshop in the foyer where James will be happy to sign any books purchased here.  

Whenever James does a demo at food festivals up and down the country they sell out. So don't miss your chance to see James cooking live - get your tickets today!
