Inside Out: James Morrison

'We didn't have a lot of money when I was growing up,' he says. 'But we always ate well. My mum or my auntie would make roast dinners.' His cooking habits are influenced by his childhood. 'I make a mean roast: lamb or beef and Yorkshire pudding.' He loves chocolate. 'I've always had a really sweet tooth. Chocolate cake, chocolate mousse, anything with chocolate in.'


Who would join you for a sofa supper?
My lovely woman Jill and my younger brother Laurie.
What would you eat?
Stir-fried rice with home-style honey ribs and some crunchy broccoli.
What's for pudding?
Chocolate mousse cake.
And to drink?
An ice-cold bottle of Corona.
What's on the TV?
Anchorman or anything with Will Ferrell in it.
What are your five favourite restaurants around the world?
I used to live opposite The Hart pub in W6. It has a good atmosphere and does the best wood-fired pizzas. I had a great night out at Fifteen in Melbourne. It's Jamie Oliver's place. I was on a promo trip and the record company took me. We had about five courses including baked kingfish. In Paris, Au Vieux Comptoir is a lovely, family-run bistro à vins, just off rue de Rivoli. They do the most amazing pork, steak and scallops and really nice wines. The waffles are out of this world, too. Sarastro, a Turkish restaurant in Covent Garden, is always fun. All the seats look like opera booths and they have a string quartet playing. It's magical. The Hangleton Manor in Hove is a real olde worlde pub. They do really tasty, homely food, it's very traditional. I always have the minted lamb chops.
