James is the son of farmers who worked at Castle Howard; little by little he would start helping his mother in the kitchen, and soon enough fell in love with cooking. James went to Amotherby School, located in Malton, and later Malton School, but wasn`t interested in studying as he was troubled by dyslexia. After high school, James enrolled at Scarborough College to study catering, and was a trainee at Hostellerie De Plaisance, Saint-Émilion, France. After finishing college, James became a part of Maison Troisgros, the 3 Michelin star restaurant in Roanne, France, and then joined One Ninety Queen`s Gate restaurant operated by Anthony Worrall Thompson, located in Kensington, London. After that, he found a job at Alastair Little in Soho, London, followed by an engagement in The Square in Mayfair, and Harvey`s in Wandsworth, London. He then worked for a couple of years as a Pastry Chef at Chewton Glen Hotel, while at the age of just 22 he was hired as Head Chef at the Hotel du Vin in Winchester. His net worth was well established.

After years of learning and inventing new ways of making food while building a name for himself, James opened his first restaurant in 2011; located in Leeds, it was named The Leeds Kitchen, in the Alea Casino, but just two years later his restaurant was closed. However, in the meantime, he opened another restaurant, located in The Talbot Hotel, Malton, and in 2013 opened another called James Martin Manchester, which is focused on modern British cuisine.

James made his first official appearance on TV back in 1996, but from 2000 he has been in the spotlight. In 2003 he first appeared in “Loose Women”, and since then has made 12 appearances in the show. Two years later he appeared in the show “Breakfast”, and was part of the show for another 32 times until 2011. In 2006 he was appointed as the host of the show “Saturday Kitchen”, and serving until 2015, which only increased his net worth by a large margin. He has also hosted “The Great British Food Revival” (2012), “James Martin`s United Cakes of America” (2013), among many other shows, all of which have contributed to his net worth.

James is also a respected author; so far he has published 17 books, including “The Deli Cookbook”, “Easy British Food”, “James Every Day: The Essential Collection”, “James Martin: Desserts”, “Fast Cooking: Really Exciting Recipes in 20 Minutes”, and “Home Comforts”, among other, the sales of which have improved his wealth too.

Regarding his personal life, apart from food, James is also in love with fast cars, and so far has driven such performance cars as GT Aston Martin and a vintage Maserati, among others.

There is no public information on any relationships; apparently he has two dogs living with him.
