James martin jpeg.JPG Seems bland dishes isn't the only thing celebrity chef James Martin is guilty of spicing up. Read on for some news related info from his much anticipated, Booker-tipped autobriography, Driven:

Book info from thebookpeople.co.uk:

"There's more to chef James Martin than three-egg omelettes [see picture]! For the first time, James talks frankly about life, love and learning to foxtrot for live TV. Highly ambitious and relentlessly motivated, it hasn't all been a smooth ride and here James tells his remarkable story, looking back to his working class childhood in Yorkshire, relating the highs and lows of a career in the kitchen and revealing some of the astonishing events that have come with fame and fortune."

Apology published in the Daily Mail, 8 November:

"The celebrity chef James Martin has apologised to his father's ex-wife over allegations in his autobiography Driven, serialised in The Mail on Sunday on October 12. Mr Martin accepts it was untrue to say his father's then-girlfriend cruelly destroyed childhood mementoes of him and his sister. We are happy to report this. HarperCollins publishers have withdrawn that edition of the book from sale and paid damages on behalf of themselves, Mr Martin and Associated Newspapers."
