James Martin<\/a> has opened up about his evening routine, sharing a rare insight about what he really cooks for himself at home.<\/p>\n

Appearing on James Martin\u2019s Saturday Morning<\/a> today, guest Louise Redknapp<\/a> questioned James about how his home cooking differed from what he created on the ITV<\/a> show.<\/p>\n

Today, James was cooking up some delicious-looking blackened cod, marinated for three days in miso, sake, and mirin. The fish, which is roasted over coals, is served with BBQ leeks and grilled broccolini.<\/p>\n

Louise, who was promoting her new solo album Confessions, asked James: \u201cDo you cook dinner for yourself every night? Like, if you\u2019re just home alone do you still cook something\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAbsolutely!\u201d James confirmed enthusiastically. \u201cYeah, absolutely.\u201d<\/p>\n

Louise went on to reveal that she had told James earlier about just having cereal for dinner the night before.<\/p>\n

James then said: \u201cSo hopefully I\u2019m going to cook for you some nice food.\u201d<\/p>\n

Referring to the elaborate dish he was putting together, he then admitted: \u201cI don\u2019t cook like this every night. But if you can just cook a nice bit of fish, just pan fry it\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cBut yeah it\u2019s my job! You must sing in the kitchen don\u2019t you as you go along?\u201d he quipped.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do, actually!\u201d Louise said with a laugh, as James replied: \u201cThere you go! Similar sort of thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

James has previously opened up about the more \u2018normal\u2019 meals he cooks on his Saturday Morning show.<\/p>\n

During his programme last year, he revealed: \u201cWhat do I cook on a regular day at home? Roast chicken. Easy.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn hour and a quarter in the oven with some nice veg – green beans from the garden, tomatoes from the greenhouse,” he continued, admitting he also wasn’t opposed to just having it in a sandwich.<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cAs a chef, it’s a funny one; if you\u2019re cooking for people at home, yes, you go and do your thing and get into the \u2018process\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut if it\u2019s just for everyday meals, most of us go for things like that \u2013 something simple but delicious; steak frites, or steak and a jacket potato, or a simple pasta, are my favourites.\u201d<\/p>\n

James also shared one of his favourite ways to cook pasta, saying: \u201c”Just a couple of tins of tomatoes, with garlic and basil, and cook for 30 minutes with some good olive oil. Cooking it for a good time makes the difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

On today\u2019s show, James was joined by singer Louise as well as chefs Francesco Mazzei and Tom Shepherd, and forager Alysia Vasey.<\/p>\n

Other dishes on the menu included flatbread with blue cheese and nettle pesto and a tasty looking asparagus tart with shallots, cheddar and a golden shortcrust.<\/p>\n

Another recipe<\/a> that had viewers\u2019 mouths watering was James\u2019 Lamb Chops, Purple Sprouting Broccoli and Harissa Dressing.<\/p>\n
