About the Author

James was one-third of one of the most successful television programmes of all time - BBC's 'Top Gear' and he now co-hosts 'The Grand Tour' on Amazon. He has presented many solo projects on television - 'Toy Stories', BBC2's six-part series with annual updates, 'James May's Man Lab' which ran for three series, 'James May's Cars of the People' and, most recently, 'Our Man in Japan' on Amazon Prime. Other projects have taken him to the edge of space, forced him to share a caravan with Oz Clarke and seen him attempt to fly with a jetpack on his back. 'Oh Cook!' is James's first foray into cooking.
