Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Welcome! I’m Julie Deustua, Cordon Bleu chef and Nutrition Health Coach. I'm the owner of Cocina de la Tierra, and the reason my business stands out is because cooking and inspiring others to get in the kitchen and cook is not a job, it’s my passion and I love every minute of it! I do artisan catering for smaller groups and I aim to transform a meal into a memorable moment for my clients. In addition to catering I teach Cooking Classes to small groups using recipes from around the world, encouraging my students to embrace home cooking as part of a healthier living. As a Nutrition Health Coach, I help my clients to achieve their nutrition goals through Healthier Living Strategies and 30 Day Clean Eating Challenges. When I am not in the kitchen or helping others to achieve healthier lifestyles, you can find me exercising and enjoying the beautiful SoCal weather at the beach with my family. I believe that cooking for others is one of the most beautiful ways to show love. Seeing happy customers either because they hired me to cook for a special gathering or because they want to learn to cook and realize it is not as difficult as they thought, is one of my greatest joys. As a Health Coach, it makes me immensely proud to be a witness of the positive changes that occur in my clients' lives when they decide to trust me to help them achieve healthier eating habits.

Great experience with Julie as a chef and presenter. Julie demonstrated to a group of about 50 the art of making Peruvian Ceviche. Everybody loved it hands down.

I had so much fun during our Peruvian coocking class. Julie is so professional, and not only teaches you how to make delicious dishes, but she also gives you great tips for the everyday cooking. Thanks Chef Julie, I look forward to another class soon!

Chef Julie is amazing! I met Chef Julie in a Latino event where she was doing a quick demonstration on how to prepare Peruvian Cebiche, at the end, she was passing out samples and I tasted her cebiche, it was really tasty so I approached her. I was looking for a Chef to perform a cooking class for an event with teenagers. Julie is very approachable, she was interested and indicated that she worked with teenagers in the past, she asked about what they like, how much they eat, and a few other things and that was pretty much all. She put together a very successful and fun class for the boys that up to this date they keep talking about. I like her business acumen, you can tell immediately that she knows what she is doing. She introduced to the boys very simple concepts about how to use the knife, how to cut different types of veggies, how to position your fingers, then she moved into how to read a recipe, when to taste the food and correct flavor, how to present a dish, she kept them entertained for almost 3 hours, having them compete at the end for the best dish!!, It was very intense and fun, I highly recommend her!
