Early life

Career
Early career

From 2006 until 2016, he was the presenter of the BBC One show Saturday Kitchen.[5]
In September 2011, James was tasked with revamping the menu and catering facilities at Scarborough General Hospital, for Operation Hospital Food for the BBC.[6] The show was recommissioned for a second[7] and third series [8] which were shown on BBC One in 2013 and 2014 respectively.
