I have known James for a number of years and have experienced his culinary skills many times in various settings ranging from quiet, intimate dinners for four people to his catering events of up to several hundred people. Each time, and regardless of the job he has risen to the occasion and provided delicious meals, usually of several courses with an imagination and flair that make his presentations true dining experiences that appeal to and satisfy all of the senses. He is a man of many talents and, more than that, is a man of character with extremely high moral and ethical standards. He loves to cook and his enthusiasm will be greatly appreciated by all.
