CLASSES

Julia has been teaching online cooking classes regularly since 2021. Her Sunday afternoon cooking classes are an incredible way to ease 'Sunday Scaries' (the very normal, very anxious feeling that so many of us get on Sundays). There’s community. There’s good food. There are tons of tips and tricks. And there is always LOTS of laughter. Thousands of dollars have been raised for various organizations.
Every class includes a PDF with recipes + a grocery list you get ahead of time + a recording after class.
These days, Julia offers 1 or 2 classes/month September through May (school’s out from June through August!). All classes are held on Sundays at 2p EST.
Julia’s video library with over 130 classes is right here.

Frequently asked questions
BEFORE CLASS:
Will I get recipes + a grocery list before class? Right after signing up, you will receive a confirmation email with a PDF attached that includes recipes, a grocery list + a prep list. If you don’t receive it for any reason, please check your spam/junk folder. If you still don’t see the confirmation email, just let Julia know. Also free to be in touch if you have any questions about ingredients!!
When will I get the Zoom link for class? It is included in your class PDF, but you will also get an email one hour before class with the link.
If I want to cook along, what should I do to prepare? No prep is required, but there is an optional prep list in the class PDF.
Are classes vegetarian/vegan-friendly? Definitely! Most of Julia’s recipes are vegetarian/vegan and when they are not, she can share ideas on how to adapt them. If you have a question about adapting a recipe (for any reason!), just get in touch with Julia.
How much is a class? Regular 90 minute classes are sliding scale starting at $50. You can also purchase a discounted five class package for $225 ($45/class) or a ten class package for $400 (just $40/class!). Note that one hour “Kids Cooking Hour!” classes are sliding scale starting at $25 and “No Judgment” classes are sliding scale starting at $0.
What if I’d really like to take class but can’t afford to? Just get in touch— we can work something out.
Are classes refundable? No, but they are recorded so if your schedule changes (or whatever!), no worries— you will receive a recording of class that you can watch anytime that works for you.
Okay, but what if my schedule changes and I don’t want a refund — can I just switch to another class? No, but you will get the class recording so totally fine if you can’t attend live!
What if there are two (or more) of us taking class together (joining on one device)— do we need to buy two tickets? If that’s within your budget, it’s the most direct way to support Julia’s work and is much appreciated. If not, it’s okay to just purchase one ticket.
DURING CLASS:
Do I have to cook along? You certainly can, or you can just watch. Whatever you want!
Do I have to have my camera on? You are welcome to, but it’s okay if you’re more comfortable with it turned off.
Is closed captioning available? Yes!
Will extra tips + ideas be shared? Soooooo many! Julia offers TONS of ideas for variations on the recipes, tips for reheating, thoughts about repurposing leftovers, and more throughout class.
Can I ask questions during class? Yes! They’re encouraged!
AFTER CLASS:
I attended class and want to rewatch it/I signed up and couldn’t attend live — how do I access the recording? You will get an email from Julia after class that includes a link to the recording that never expires so you can access it anytime!
I couldn’t attend live and am watching the recording and have a question — what do I do? No problem, just get in touch!
ADDITIONAL FAQs:
Can I gift Julia’s classes? You sure can! You can purchase gift cards for whatever amount you’d like right here (you can schedule the gift to go to your recipient at any time). Gift cards can be used for upcoming LIVE classes and/or for previously recorded classes in Julia’s on-demand library.
Is there something I can print to give as a gift? There sure is! Here you go!
What if I missed a class that I now want to take? You’re in luck! All of Julia’s classes are recorded and available for purchase in her on-demand library (all of these classes include a PDF with recipes + a grocery list).
Does Julia offer private classes? She sure does! Just get in touch.
I have a question that wasn’t answered here— what do I do? Get in touch!

Over this 4+ hour course, Julia shares what she’s learned working on 15 cookbooks over the last 15 years. She covers everything from pitching to selling, writing, and promoting. Accompanying resources include a 25+ page document of notes with a list of agents, spreadsheets to help keep everything organized, a sample cookbook proposal, and more. Great for anyone interested in getting their foot in the door.
