Welcome to Julia’s Album – my food blog where I regularly share easy-to-make recipes, as well as an occasional dessert.
My passion #1 is cooking, so this website is the collection of the recipes I've made for myself, my family, and my friends. I personally make and test all the recipes presented on this website, I do all the writing and all of the original photography for my website, JuliasAlbum.com.
My #2 passion is traveling, and you will find quite a few posts under the Travel section of this website. My travel-related posts are all created (written) by me, and I do all of the original travel photography for my website, JuliasAlbum.com.
About Julia's Album
- My name is Julia, I am a United States-based food blogger, a self-taught cook, and a self-taught food photographer.
- I started this food blog in 2012 as a hobby and an expression of my personal passion for cooking and photography, in addition to my regular full-time office job at the time.
- In 2016 I quit my full-time 9 to 5 office job.
- These days, I devote myself to this food blog. I spend my days cooking and testing the recipes, photographing them and then publishing the recipes (that have been tested and retested by me) on this website.
Featured On
-
- My recipes have been featured on major sites, such as Huffington Post, Country Living, Good Housekeeping, Parade, The Kitchn, Delish, Brit+Co, Food Network, BUZZFEED, PUREWOW, and Greatist.
- For a detailed list of my recipes featured on these sites + links to those features, check out my Press page.
About my recipes
- I love making homemade dinners, so the majority of my recipes are main courses, pasta recipes, chicken dishes, seafood recipes, soups, and salads, with an occasional dessert thrown in for good measure.
- My food blog is a great resource for busy people (that’s all of us, right?!) who want to eat well without spending a ton of time on cooking. Many of my recipes take only 30 minutes to make and require only one pan to cook. I strive to make my recipes as simple as possible.
- The recipes I make are everyday, familiar foods, cooked from scratch. A good place to start is my Recipe Index where the recipes are categorized by course (Breakfast, Dinner, Desserts, etc.), major ingredients, type of diet, etc.
- I love to make hearty, comforting foods – so, I have lots of Pasta Recipes, Chicken Recipes, and Seafood Recipes.
My Social Media Pages
If you would like to connect with me via social media, here are my social media accounts:

The best way to contact me and get me to respond
- The best way to reach me (and get my response) is to comment on any recipe on this website or on this ABOUT page in the comments section below even if you'd like to communicate about something that doesn't have anything to do with a particular recipe. I always see your comments!
- I always review and see the comments on this website, but I am much more likely to miss an email (my email gets cluttered!). Your comment is not published right away - it's reviewed and moderated, so no personal information and no email are published.
- My email gets cluttered and it's likely I might miss your message if you email me. It's best to comment on any recipe or down in the comments section below - even if you're trying to reach me for a different reason than a recipe. Thank you!
- I provide my email below anyway but .... see all of the above first! Thank you!
- If you'd like to contact me or ask a question email me: inquiriesjulia { at } gmail { dot } com
Finally, before you leave
Nice to meet you! This is the most recent photo of me that I've taken this Fall 2022. I think it's always a good idea to see the face of the person behind the blog and the recipes!
And, below ⬇️ is the very first photo of me that I posted about 10 years ago when I just started this blog. I am keeping this one for memories. ⬇️ 🙂

I too am looking forward to your newsletter! Love your recipes!
Hi Julia! I love your website. I made a few recipes and they all became my family favorites. Thank you for your hard work.
Do you have a YouTube channel?
A gold mine for a single guy!!
You have great recipes Julia.
Even us single guys get tired of eating chili and scrambled eggs every meal LOL
I'm so glad I found your website. What a wonderful collection of recipes that are straight forward, easy to follow and with beautiful pictures. No more scrolling through some weird essay about someone's distant uncle who has a peg leg that loved corn beef hash to get to a recipe. Lovely. May not even need Pinterest anymore for cooking. Keep up the good work!
Asparagus with cod fillet was a ridiculous recipe. When the fish was cooked the asparagus was not. When the asparagus was cooked, the cud, which I had kept warm, was like leather.
I won’t be looking at your recipes any more

I would love to invite your posts to my inbox!
Do you have a newsletter? I don’t subscribe to any Instagram etc.
Hi Julia, I made your roasted duck recipe for my hubby's birthday today, and we all enjoyed it! I cooked the duck at 375 F for about 3 hours, and it turned out perfect! I guess the temperature might depend on the oven and the altitude I heard also plays a role. Anyway, just wanted to mention that and thank you very much for such a delicious recipe and your very detailed instructions and useful tips.
do you have a newsletter that we can sign up to receive new recipes . do not use facebook
Hi Sonia! I have not set that up yet, but it's on my to-do list!
