James Peterson je majster kuchár a autor kuchárskych kníh, ktorého práca hlboko čerpá z jeho cestovateľských skúseností a vášnivého objavovania sveta gastronómie. Po štúdiu na UC Berkeley a cestách po Ázii a Európe objavil v Paríži svoj kulinársky osud, kde ho uchvátila francúzska kultúra jedla a pitia. Jeho štýl, ovplyvnený prácou v prestížnych francúzskych reštauráciách a štúdiom na Le Cordon Bleu, sa vyznačuje kreativitou a hĺbkou. Petersonove písanie sa zameriava na základné techniky a filozofiu varenia, pričom jeho oceňované knihy, ako sú Sauces a Cooking, preslávili svojím precíznym vysvetlením a úchvatnou fotografiou.
