MARY BERRY is the doyenne of family cookery, and specialises in Aga cookery and cakes and desserts. She is a regular contributor to TV and radio food programmes and has written over 70 best selling cookery books with over 5 million sales, including the classic Aga Cookbook. 
Mary runs very successful Aga workshops from her home in Buckinghamshire. (Ha Ha you may say, Mary is not from Yorkshire???....well actually Mary has a very very strong Yorkshire connection -Mary's mother (at the age of 104) is the oldest living pupil of Harrogate school- Wow, that I feel is some serious connection to Yorkshire...!!!)
'Mary Berry is to Aga what Pavorotti is to opera'...!!!.

JAMES MARTIN has had phenomenal success which can be attributed to his early love of food which was nurtured at Castle Howard in Yorkshire. Here his father ran the catering and where James often helped out – he even helped cook for the Queen Mother at the age of 11...!!!
At only 16 years old he began his formal training at Scarborough Technical College, where he was Student of the Year for three years running. At the tender age of 22, he opened the Hotel and Bistro du Vin in Winchester as Head Chef, where he changed the menu every day.
James is justifably very proud of his Yorkshire roots and his message about food has always been the same – he has been passionate about celebrating British food (in particularYorkshire produce), using the best ingredients possible and creating simple, delicious recipes accessible to one and all.**********
