Portrait

“Maple is an incredibly unique ingredient with such a diverse range of uses.”

James cut his teeth working at The Savoy in London and has held senior culinary roles in major hotel groups including Soho House, where he worked in New York, and The Pig Hotel Group in England.

James is passionate about sustainability and provenance and is an active member of the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts, where he helps to promote food education and sustainability to the next generation of chefs.

“What makes Canadian maple even more special is the fact that you can trace each drop back to the forest in which it was produced.”
