Working with and talking to Chef James was a great experience! It reassured a lot about my thoughts on this career, but most importantly, taught me a new way of thinking about it as well. He helped me navigate many different aspects of the kitchen from working with counterparts that you don't agree with to taking care of my mindset and body in an industry that tells you not to. Biggest take away I took from Chef James is that removing the ego is the biggest accomplishment in not only this career but in life. Calm and collected always outshine loud and reckless. Thanks Chef!

As a Navy Veteran and Chef, working with Chef James Avery has been a breath of fresh air in an industry where it's often difficult to find chefs willing to share their knowledge and expertise. Many chefs tend to gatekeep, but Chef James is different. He takes the time to answer all your questions to the best of his ability. Missing out on the opportunity to learn from such a remarkable chef would be a mistake. He teaches you how to elevate not only your culinary skills but also your overall health. Do yourself a favor: take the class, invest in your growth, and become the chef you've always dreamed of being.
