About us
Meet Chef James
Born and raised in the beautiful Hudson Valley, Town of New Windsor, NY, my passion for cooking was ignited at a young age. Growing up in a region known for its rich agricultural heritage, I was exposed to an abundance of fresh, locally sourced ingredients. This upbringing instilled in me a deep appreciation for quality produce and inspired me to pursue a career in the culinary arts.
After completing my education at The Culinary Institute of America, I embarked on an exciting journey that has taken me to some of the most prestigious kitchens around the world. From mastering the art of French cuisine under Gordon Ramsay’s guidance to honing my skills in Italian cuisine with Michael White, I have had the privilege of learning diverse culinary techniques and styles.
Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to work with esteemed chefs such as Thomas Keller, Matthew Accarino, Bobby Flay, and Markus Glocker, each of whom has left a lasting impact on my culinary expertise. Their mentorship has not only shaped my technical skills but also instilled in me the importance of creativity, attention to detail, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
Join me on this culinary adventure as I continue to explore new flavors, push boundaries, and strive to create memorable dining experiences. Whether it’s crafting a delicate French soufflé or infusing bold flavors into a rustic Italian dish, my passion for cooking knows no bounds. I look forward to sharing my love for all things food with you and hope to inspire your own culinary endeavors along the way.
