About James Martin

James Martin was born into the chef's life: his father ran the catering side of Castle Howard stately home in Yorkshire, and when he was only 12, James could boast that he'd cooked for the Queen Mother on her visit there.

At 16, he went to Scarborough to begin his formal training. While there, he was student of the year for three years running. His work was noticed by Antony Worrall Thompson who brought James to London to work, first at 190 Queensgate and then at dell'Ugo. James then travelled throughout France working in the kitchens of French chateaux alongside the matriarchs of grand old families.

On his return to Britain, at age 22, he opened the Hotel and Bistro du Vin in Winchester where, as head chef, he changed the menu every day.

His TV career started in 1996 when he became a regular team member on Ready Steady Cook and he has since appeared in numerous TV shows such as Delicious!, James Martin Sweet and Yorkshire’s Finest as well as Castle in the Country and Stately Suppers for the BBC. In 2006 he impressed fans with his dancing skills in Strictly Come Dancing. James now presents Saturday Kitchen live on BBC One every Saturday morning as well as appearing in the Great British Village Show on BBC One and Sweet Baby James on BBC Two.

James is the author of numerous cookery books including the recent James Martin's Great British Winter, published in 2006.

The James Martin Mini Chopper is the ideal unit for the small family to blend, chop or puree. Easy to clean this small yet deceptively powerfull blender will even grind spices. Ideal for even the inexperienced chef, the enclosed recipes from James Martin's own collection will inspire culinary masterpieces.

OK blender
Blender is OK, easy to clean inside the chopper spindle, unit is easy to clean, bowl a little fragile, better grade of material, better thought to chopper spindle design would help as plastic an metal to not go, one wears quicker than the other, this means once worn the motor will spin and the blade will go nowhere. On the plus side more hygienic than Kenwood, as you can clean inside the chopper. But chop chop not so good, some how does not do it well you always end of with under-chopped bits and over chopped bits, shame !!!!!

Bobbins!
I didn't read the two reviews so I've got what I deserve - another little kitchen gadget to gather dust. It is USELESS. Spookily, before it arrived I harvested loads of wild garlic whilst playing golf. And there is a recipe for wild garlic pesto. Which if you like your leaves stretched, wound into balls and scrunched up instead of chopped, it's grand. The pesto ended up being processed by the Kenwood and I have to say, very tasty. As for the gadget, don't bother dear reader because it doesn't do what it says on the label.

reluctant to even give it one star - it's so bad
what a complete waste of money. I bought two of these - one for me, one for granny and can confirm it CANNOT deal with any of the following ingredients:
fresh herbs - turns to a pulp
celery - blade gets stuck
tomato pieces - even when cut up small - turns to a pulp
apple pieces - gets stuck
nuts - no way! gets stuck
bread - cannot make breadcrumbs unless bread is so stale it's gone crispy!
garlic - nope
onion - a nice array of pulp and big lumps, even when precut

So still waiting to find a food it can actually deal with.

AVOID!
