The Dynamic duo of Dinning Details
http://www.dining-details.com
Robbie began his cooking career working in the kitchens of fine dining establishments in his home town of Grand Rapids, Michigan, and in Denver, Colorado, where he received his formal culinary training. After accepting the position of chef aboard the 110' private yacht, Dorothea, he quickly became the travelling private chef to a prestigious US Ambassador. Robbie travelled back and forth to Miami, Rancho Santa Fe, and the yacht, Dorothea, wherever she was docked, catering to the needs of his client's family, friends, and colleagues. Robbie has travelled abroad a great deal, as well, studying food throughout Europe and interning in Singapore. Chef Robbie is brilliantly creative, and specializes in preparing healthy, low fat, delicious creations, straight from the farm to your table. His awe inspiring presentations have wowed dinner guests such as John Kerry and other political dignitaries.
Julie has been working as a personal and private chef since 2001, first travelling the world cooking aboard private and charter yachts for several years after graduating from UC Santa Barbara in 2000. She returned to her home town of San Diego in 2005 to develop Dining Details.
She realized her dream of combining her gourmet cooking skills, passion for health, people skills, and vast array of cooking experiences to create a luxury service, able to extend into a variety of client's homes and lives. She is happy to extend a wider variety of services to more individuals as the business continues to grow. Her goals of spreading enjoyment and education of healthy, whole food living and the importance of organics are realized more and more as people embrace the healthy gourmet food that Dining Details provides, and take advantages of such services as Julie's complimentary monthly newsletter and cooking clubs. Julie offers Dining Details as a service that makes the best restaurant in the comfort of your own home, and looks forward to growing the business as a service that provides quality chefs to a great number of homes and families all over San Diego.
