James Stolich

Welcome to CookWithJames.com. We offer an array of private chef & catering services including private dinners, cooking classes and catering events. We feature Italian and French inspired dishes of the highest quality, and use only locally grown and farmed organic ingredients.

COOKING CLASS DINNER PARTIES
Gather a group of friends together and attend one of James' regional Italian cooking class dinners. Don't like to cook but like to eat? No problem, come hang out and watch the action. All classes are $65 a person (unless otherwise noted) and include wine & step-by-step recipes. Way more fun than the book club! Plus you have the chance to win a different Breville kitchen appliance each month. The more you come the greater your chances of winning. Click here for a full list of cooking class dinners. Pick the one that most interests you and email us to set up a date (minimum of 4 people required).

PRIVATE DINNER PARTIES
Arrange for a private gourmet dinner in the chef's or your kitchen. Contact James to put together a customized menu for your event suited to your tastes and budget. James can host the event for you or bring his delectable dinners right to your home. Just sit down at your dinner table, look gorgeous and enjoy! Click here for more information and sample menus.

GIFT CERTIFICATES
More clever than a Banana Republic v-neck navy sweater. More interesting than a couple of overly scented candles from Pottery Barn. Surprise your friends and loved ones by presenting a cookwithjames gift certificate. We have gift certificates for Cooking Classes ($65). We also have gift certificates for Private Dinner Parties (starting at $75 per head). Dinner parties can be at your house – or we can host. Click here for a sample menu. We can add additional courses and wine pairing per request. Contact James to request your personalized gift certificate.

NEW BOOK LAUNCH!I am also very excited that Jenn Garbee's new book, SECRET SUPPERS, is now available in bookstores across the country as well as online. I first spoke to Jenn when she was doing research in November 2006 for an article around underground supper clubs. Since then she has graciously included me in her new book which surveys underground chefs and secret restaurants across the country. You can order the book online or when you come to my dinner. I will have extra copies available for anyone who wants to take one home!
