Julia has been a strict vegetarian since 18 years old and as a result has learned to be very inventive with her cooking.  She strongly believes it is possible to eat only vegetables and yet still make dishes interesting and varied.  Although she has not imposed her vegetarianism on her children she has encouraged them to eat healthily and to enjoy everything from tomatoes to chickpeas.

In 1998, she took part in the London Marathon to raise money for Breakthrough Breast Cancer and walked the full 26 mile course in just over six hours. 

She lives in London with her family and her black Labrador, Biff.
