I hired Chef Julia to run a small cooking class/birthday party for my young daughter. She did a fantastic job with the kids, keeping them engaged and teaching them a lot about cooking! My daughter has asked for a repeat of the same birthday party next year. Chef Julia was easy to communicate with, clear about what I needed to do to prepare, and then lovely to have in our home. Wonderful experience!

I engaged Julia for a cooking class for my husband’s birthday. The food was delicious and she was truly excellent in engaging my daughters through the class. I highly recommend her, especially for classes for families.

Julia hosted a large dinner at my home. She was incredibly professional, taking the time to plan every last detail, from the menu to the place settings to the cook and serve ware. Julia was such a delight, we would hire her again!

Chef Julia is absolutely amazing! Her passion for cooking and patience while teaching, was the perfect match for our budding chefs ages 9 and 7.

I went to Julia after many failed attempts at learning how to cook. My favorite kitchen appliance was the microwave. Until my first lesson. Julia has the patience and knowledge to help me feel more confident almost immediately. I'm very intimated by cooking steaks. Or meat in general. Julia's lesson for the Tuscan Steak was phenomenal. She focuses on the science of cooking which was a huge help. I've never had cooking explained in such a manner. The sky's the limit now. I think I'll tackle and conquer croissants with Julia by my side.

That steak lesson was so much fun and I really enjoyed showing you how to cook a restaurant-quality dinner in your own kitchen. Looking forward to the next lesson!
