James's story

Real food, cooked slowly, by someone who has spent his whole life around it.

I'm James, the founder of Meal Prep Chiang Mai. I grew up on a farm in the UK, where we raised pigs and grew our own organic vegetables. Good food, and knowing where it comes from, was part of everyday life.

I went on to work in professional kitchens and to own and run my own restaurant in the UK. Along the way I studied sustainability and worked in soil health, which taught me how much the way food is grown matters.

After a serious head injury, I found out for myself how much diet changes the way you feel. That's why gut health sits alongside flavour in everything I cook.

I don't take shortcuts. If a dish needs twelve hours, it gets twelve hours. The result is food that tastes like it came from a restaurant and leaves you feeling better for eating it.
