Celebrity chief James Martin expressed his deep connection to Yorkshire and explained that he would “lynch” if he didn't go back there. The 53-year-old cook, who grew up on a 100 hectare farm in the Howard Estate Castle, appreciates his visits at home.

James currently shares his time between different locations, including the Cotswolds, Manchester and Hampshire, where he monitors his restaurant. His residence is located in Hampshire, from where he films his popular ITV show James Martins on Saturday morning in a kitchen specially built for the program.

His Hampshire Abbot with seven bedrooms has an outdoor kitchen, a greenhouse and is located on 1.5 hectares of land. The tailor -made outdoor cooking area is equipped with a high -ranking wood stove made of wood, a large central island and a stylish green industrial lighting, which represents the perfect scene for culinary creations.

The garage conversion of its ownership serves as a location for parts of his ITV show. It is believed that his house is located comfortably near the kitchen in the Chewton Glen Hotel and in Spa in New Milton, one of his restaurants.

Despite his current residence in the southeast, James' affection for Yorkshire remains obvious. He informed his audience that he would return to what he lovingly names as the “God's County” during the summer break of his weekend program, reports Yorkshire Live.

In a conversation with food and travel, James remembered his formative years: “I had an astonishing childhood. We bred 100 acres, so we learned the value of graft, but also through food.

“It is an astonishing lesson in life to learn at this age: to respect the people who produce food that it is not just a matter of course – people have to grow it, do it, produce it – and there is also a respect that does this as a career. I didn't enjoy school, I hated it, but I loved it at home.

He explains that the farm had initial challenges because his father was “not a farmer of trade” and instead had a background in the catering. Nevertheless, the family held out and finally introduced chickens and pigs to their country.

Yorkshire Produce consistently played an important role in James's life – he even organized a culinary journey through the region – and has strongly influenced his approach to cooking. However, he emphasizes that it is the locals who keep withdrawing to Yorkshire.

He humorously finds that in London “you think you will think about it” when you have a conversation, while in Yorkshire, according to James, the locals are “very honest and much friendlier”.

James is a deep appreciation for people for Yorkshire and his breathtaking coast, the Moors and the forests and describe the area as “magical” and “diverse”.

Despite his profound affection for Yorkshire, James in Hampshire still remains logistical difficulties in moving due to the geographical spread of his projects. Nevertheless, James claims that he had established a “routine” with his current arrangement.

He explains: “I know where to do what day, every week, and traveling is not bad.”

James says: “I am lynched when I am not in Yorkshire. I love Yorkshire.”

Catch the Saturday morning with James Martin at 9.30 a.m. on ITV Eins. As a result of this week, which was originally broadcast in 2023, James will be accompanied by singer Jack Svoretti, Midsomer Murder's actor Neil Dudgeon and culinary experts Glynn Purnell and Sabrina Gidda.
