Food-focused and driven by ‘that perfect dish’, Chef Julia San Bartolome was born a natural in the kitchen. From baking batches of her family's traditional Christmas cookies each year of her youth to volunteering for food preparation at her summer camp, the kitchen has been her home for over 20 years now.
Immediately out of high school, Chef Julia enrolled in the Culinary program at Santa Barbara City College. She excelled in many of the program’s classes, but was drawn to the pastry department, and eventually fell in love with the art.
