I've always been a bit of an entertainer and played the funny man.
I was a part-time comedian for years, so I learned how to stand in front of
audiences. It made me sure of myself. I like being liked and I love making everyone
smile.
I've lived in London all my life and have just moved to a larger house with my
wife Clare and our two children, Jimmy and Madeleine. We spend a lot of time just
singing and dancing around the house. I grew up with music because my dad is the
pianist, Chester Harriott - who's still playing, by the way. My working day is
divided between television and writing cook books, though TV takes most of my
time. I spend about five days a fortnight working on the cooking programmes I
appear in. I eat all sorts of things at home but I only buy quality food. When I'm
cooking, I experiment with whatever is in the fridge - it's good practice for my TV
series.
I'm a football fan and enjoy going to matches, but I'm a homeloving person
really. I don't like going to the pub but we do go out to eat about twice a month.
There's nothing better than a night at home playing with the children. I rarely go to
bed before midnight. Late evening is when fresh thoughts on cooking usually come
to me, so I often write and plan my programmes then. When I eventually get to bed,
I have no trouble sleeping!

laugh
C. to talk about his cooking ideas D. to explain how he started in
