James Barry’s culinary career started as a private chef. His inauguration into
restaurant-style cooking came later when he was the vegan/vegetarian chef on
the Van’s Warped Tour, which traveled to 50 North American cities in 60 days.
Upon returning to Los Angeles, James continued to private chef and had the
fortune of cooking for celebrities such as Tom Cruise, Mariska Hargitay, George
Clooney, Gerard Butler, Sean “Puffy” Combs, Barbra Streisand, and John
Cusack. Not wanting to limit the audience of his healthy and tasty style of
cooking, James started Wholesome2Go, a healthy, high-quality food delivery
company that served under his leadership in the Los Angeles area for 8 years.
He has also worked as an assistant Food Stylist on many television shows and
as a chef instructor for the Los Angeles Unified School District’s Nutrition
Network program helping to introduce healthy foods and cooking to kids of all
ages.
A graduate of the Natural Gourmet Institute in NYC, he continued his education
by receiving certification as a Nutritional Consultant through the Global College of
Natural Medicine and as a Certified Healing Foods Specialist with Immunitrition.
James co-authored the recipes in Margaret Floyd’s book Eat Naked and co-
authored the follow-up cookbook The Naked Foods Cookbook. He most recently
co-authored the recipes in Dr. Alejandro Junger’s book, Clean 7. Learn more
