Ainsley Harriott
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 home-loving 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 or plan my programmes then. When I eventually get to bed, I have
no trouble sleeping.
