James was one of our household heeors. In 1976, planning to surprise my boyfriend with a handcrank ice-cream maker, I looked James up in the Vancouver phone book when the recipe failed. James told me just what to do, it worked, the party was a success. We bought each of his books as they came out. AvocadoDessert The Ultimate Simplicity Pseudo Psourdough Pancakes Chicken with Dumplings Lady Di's Nanny's Fave Pudding! As our kids grew up and moved on, we gave them James's books. His kitchen philosophy of using what you have on hand, making the best of it, applies to life of course. Does anyone remember his columns in Vancouver Magazine? And Pacific Yachting? We have been lucky to have such a generous writer and cook in our midst. Thank you, James!
