James Martin: Home Comforts

In his own kitchen, James prepares the dishes that he loves to share with friends as well as those he cooks for a quiet night in. He also takes a broader look at home cooking from the recipes we have inherited from our ancestors to local producers that supply him with the best quality ingredients and the budding entrepreneurs who have turned their own family recipes into successful businesses.
