James is an outstanding chef. We presented a formal gala at our church in Loma Linda Ca. and were delighted by the menu he prepared. It was a 4 course meal with delicious delicacies the memories of which are making my mouth water as I write. He has a certain touch of class that is transmitted in both the preparation and presentation of his creative cuisines. I have also had the privilege of being transported to heights of gourmet ecstasy at private dinners in his home, where he seems to take great pleasure in pleasing the palates of his guests.
