Gourmet Julie’s Way “Food is a way to celebrate life and love. Some of my happiest moments were spent celebrating around the dinner table sharing delicious food with my loved ones. That is the same feeling I want for all my clients at their special celebrations. I believe that happiness is homemade, and my wish is that my homemade food will bring a little happiness to every past, present, and future client at their special event.”- Chef Julie
