Julie Le Clerc is an award-winning author of 14 cookbooks and two compilations. Julie’s books are bursting with original recipes and a unique style of presentation that illustrate her passion for food and her love of dishes full of flavour, texture and colour. Her café series recounts her time in the café kitchen with recipes that evoke the ambience of café life and encourage others to cook café-style food at home.

Beautiful photographs are important in cookbooks today and these books are full of mouth-watering shots. Julie enjoys styling her food for photography – a process that involves gathering and placing props and backdrops to form a picture. It also involves the art of food styling, which is cooking and arranging food for the camera so that it looks natural, edible and photogenic.
