Cranwell Welcomes New Executive Chef

Print Story | Email Story

LENOX, Mass. — James Rankin has been named the executive chef of Cranwell Spa & Golf Resort.

Rankin grew up in England and, at 19, relocated to the States. In the past 20 years, he has accumulated more than 20 years of executive and sous chef experience at different resorts in the States and in England.

Rankin left Boca to come to the Berkshires to pursue Cranwell as a long-term project and to enjoy a climate that accommodates the four seasons. His contemporary cooking style paired with his desire to use local food sources delivers both comfort and surprise with each bite.

Cranwell is located just over two hours from New York City and Boston in the historic New England village of Lenox.
