“We do all the work so you can play”
The Story
Born in South Africa, Julie learned to create a culinary foundation from a young age when she watched her grandmother and mother in the kitchen everyday. Being able to be the food taster, she knew this would become a meaningful family tradition and culture in her adult life. This notion instilled a deep passion for Julie to follow suite and share her food creations with the world.
In 2008, Julie lived in Israel for 8 months on a kibbutz, where her first opportunity to work in a commercial kitchen, as a line cook was awarded. This is where Julie grew the most. Through this experience she had the opportunity to learn not only the Israeli language, but to shadow the Chefs, and familiarize herself with the many Mediterranean dishes.
In 2019, Julie furthered her education and graduated with honours at a Private Chef school in Ontario, Canada. Julie has been trained by qualified Red Seal Chefs, who have watched her grow into the quality chef she is today.
Some of Julie’s all time favourite things:
Favourite Food: Bison Burger with Caramelized onions, feta cheese, and sprouts
Favourite Dessert: Pudding Tia Maria
Favourite Vegetables: Shallots/Green Onions
Favourite Fruits: Avocado/Mango
Favourite Herbs: Fresh Italian Parsley/Fresh Rosemary
Favourite Spice: Smoked Paprika
Favourite things to make: Fresh Egg Pasta, Sourdough breads, Créme Anglaise, and Ice cream
