ABOUT THIS COOK:

Hi there, I'm Julia. When I'm not cooking, browsing the web for food inspiration, blogging or doing the dishes, I'm finishing up a degree in Economics and German (with a little Computer Science mixed in). I've lived in Berkeley, Berlin and now Boston. I enjoy many things, but I particularly like cheese, picnics, sharp knives, things organized neatly, and cities starting with "B".
