I can’t recommend Julia highly enough as a cooking instructor. I was looking for someone patient and encouraging to help my son build confidence and basic skills in the kitchen, and Julia was the perfect fit. She brought a combination of expertise, professionalism, and a warm, engaging personality to every lesson. Her genuine passion for teaching made a big impression, and she and my son connected right away. Over just five weeks, he learned far more than I expected—cooking a variety of meals and desserts, and even showing new enthusiasm for helping out in the kitchen. If you’re looking for someone who teaches with kindness, builds trust, and truly inspires, Julia is exceptional. We’re incredibly grateful and would love to work with her again.

If there was a 6+ star rating for Chef Julia I would definitely give her that. I hired Chef Julia for a baking lesson for my 9 yr old granddaughter. What a wonderful time we had. We learned so many things about baking. The final result was 2 doz cupcakes from scratch…yummy. I’ll never buy a box mix again. Delicious and beautiful…Julia taught my granddaughter and me some fabulous ideas to elevate any frosted cupcake. What a win this was. Grandma got an A+ for hiring her and granddaughter has a real appreciation for making beautifully decorated cupcakes. Thank you Julia.

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.
