Chef James

Teaches at CocuSocial Cooking Classes

Hey all! I graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY, in the 90’s. I worked in restaurants for some top name chefs in the business. I trained under David Burke and Ed Brown. I did 5 years at an Upper East side café as head chef; I then got experience in hotel/catering at the Marriott Marquis at 45th and Broadway. I did 7 years at The View Restaurants, and banquet operations.

In 2012, I started my own business: I work in corporate catering health care, private dinners and meal drop off and delivery.

Most recently, I began teaching and it’s incredible. I love giving back and growing new chefs. That said, won’t you join me? I can put all of my experience to work for you. Let’s make some memories!

1st we (4) arrived 30 minutes late to the lesson. The express bus that was supposed to take us from Staten Island never arrived! We attempted to take another bus then saw the sim 3 was back in route and went back to our original stop so you can imagine the scurry we were in. The chef was upset at our late arrival as it understandably caused a bit of chaos switching seats around to accommodate the 4 late students! We apologized to the group & James but it didn’t make it easier! Chef James was awesome. He was at each station and taught the class well. Very entertaining! I would only ask to have left the class with written recipes as in the past. Thank you chef James and sorry to have been late! We certainly didn’t want to miss anything!
