Chef Julia was born and raised in Eltville am Rhein, a small village in The Rheingau region of Germany. She was literally raised in an art gallery owned by her parents. Surrounded by professional chefs in her family, she learned to blend her two passions—cooking and art—at a very young age.

​

Julia has cooked around the world. In her native Germany, as a chef's apprentice, she won several culinary awards—competing against highly regarded professional chefs. She worked for the elite before relocating to Dubai. While there, she had the pleasure of cooking for Hollywood celebrities as well as royalty—including the Princess of Dubai. Julia then worked in Spain before returning to Germany, where she obtained her Bachelor's Degree in Hotel Management from Hotelfach Schule Hamburg.

​

Wanting to explore the United States, Julia moved to South Florida, where she worked in one of the finest country clubs in the country—Frenchman's Creek—and on a cruise liner. During this time, she expanded into the private chef world—and soon fell in love with in-home meal preparation and delighting clients with private dinner parties. With her husband's relocation to Michigan, Chef Julia now offers her private chef services to clients in the Detroit metro area.
