About Chef Julia 

My Story

Born and raised in France, I trained professionally in Lyon, where I developed the French techniques that remain the foundation of my cooking today. While French cuisine is my specialty, my cooking has never been limited to French Food.

 

Years of traveling and discovering different cultures have shaped the way I cook. I love exploring flavors from around the world and creating menus around what my clients truly enjoy. Every experience is different, and that’s one of my favorite parts of being a private chef.

 

Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of cooking for families, couples, groups of friends, companies, private clients and professional athletes. From relaxed dinners at home to bachelorette weekend parties; Birthday celebrations and corporate events to vacation gatherings. I really enjoy cooking at weddings, wineries, and on yachts. 'French Chef at Home' can handle larger celebrations and other unique occasions.

 

My work has taken me to experiences around the world, allowing me to cook for clients both in the U.S. and international. I have also had the pleasure of cooking for professional athletes to help them prepare when nutrition is most important. 

 

Today, through French Chef At Home, I bring all of those experiences together—French roots, global inspiration, and food created especially for you.

 

For me, it’s about more than what’s on the plate. It’s about bringing people together and creating an experience they’ll remember.

"Chef Julia was amazing! So sweet and kind. She fed a group of 13 after a night out for my bachelorette party - and let me just say she totally saved our lives. The food was delicious and she even made an immaculate presentation for us. Highly recommend!!!"
