James Martin on farming, food heritage and a kitchen disaster

In this episode, recorded on stage at the Good Food Show, Samuel Goldsmith chats with James Martin who takes us back to his early days, when he started out as a pot washer at Castle Howard, working alongside his dad and it’s here that his love for food first ignited. They delve into the importance of understanding where our food comes from and how crucial it is to respect the process, especially in a time when so many of us take it for granted. And, of course, we couldn’t skip over some of James's most memorable moments in the kitchen, including a hilarious story about 846 apple tarts gone wrong.
