James Martin's Home Comforts for Christmas is on BBC One, 3.40pm, weekdays in the run up to Christmas 2015.
Series two
James Martin is back on our screens with a brand new series of James Martin's Home Comfort and we couldn't be more excited. Not only do we get to see his delicious comfort food recipes - we also get sneak peek around his home!
The highlight of our Saturdays are spent curled up in front of the TV watching James Martin's Saturday Kitchen Live (we're sure we're not the only ones, ladies?) so when we heard that we were in for another dose of James Martin, we couldn't resist finding out more.
What's on the menu for this series?
In these cold and wet winter months, warm comforting food is high on the menu for most people and James is here to help. Comfort food recipes aren't fancy and they certainly aren't pretty but with Mr Martin at the helm, we can guarantee they're going to be rather delicious.
