James's first memories of cooking are as a young boy visiting his grandmother at weekends. "I used to go over there on a Friday and a Saturday when I was around four, five or six," he recalls.

"I used to do everything in the kitchen with my grandmother from making bread to baking biscuits and cakes. I particularly remember helping her make the gravy. I always had to try it first with a teaspoon."

James now has two young children himself and says he enjoys cooking with them in the kitchen whenever he can.

And he recently enjoyed passing on a few tips to some of the younger residents of Portland Street, Abertillery, who are taking part in X-Ray's One Street, One Goal project to improve their health. You can get James' chicken casserole recipe along withÌýhis recipeÌýfor rice pudding, by .
