Our Presenter- Chef James Rosenbauer

With a lifelong passion for food and hospitality, this retired executive chef built a distinguished culinary career rooted in tradition, travel, and a deep respect for ingredients. His love of cooking began in his grandmother’s kitchen, where he first learned that great food is about care, patience, and bringing people together.

Formally trained in Michelin-starred restaurants in New York City, he refined his craft in some of the world’s most demanding and inspiring kitchens. These formative experiences instilled in him a commitment to excellence, technique, and the artistry of cuisine.

His culinary journey also took him across Europe, where he traveled extensively through Spain, Italy, and France, immersing himself in regional food cultures, local markets, and time-honored cooking traditions. These travels shaped his approach to cooking—simple, authentic food prepared with respect for both tradition and innovation.

Throughout his career as an executive chef, he championed local and sustainable ingredients, building strong relationships with farmers, fishermen, and artisans. He believes that the best dishes begin with responsibly sourced products and a deep appreciation for the land and people who produce them.

Now retired from the demands of the professional kitchen, he continues to share his passion for food, celebrating the joy of cooking, the richness of culinary heritage, and the importance of sustainable, community-centered cuisine.
