About the Author
Julian is a former classically trained chef, catering manager and cheesecakeologist, which included a short detour into the world of Chinese Acupuncture and is the author of this series of journals. These journals tell the story of Charlie and his adventures into the world of the Patissier and although these journals are a work of fiction, there are many parts that are taken from the author's own personal experiences within the catering industry.
Julian became a cheesecakeologist when an ardour for baking and a passion for desserts, lead him to the wonderful world of the cheesecake, in all its forms. Eventually ending with the creation of an artisan cheesecake company. The dream for the author was to redefine this classic dessert and transform it into something new, which remains still very much the case to this day.
When not in the kitchen causing mayhem experimenting with various flavour combinations, or conducting further research and pushing the cheesecake envelope, you can find Julian sitting in a boutique coffee shop. This is where he will be soaking in the atmosphere, people watching, a favourite pastime, while planning out and scribbling down notes for the next chapter of Charlies Journal. Or perhaps he'll be working on charlie's recipe book, while not over doing the coffee intake.
And finally when not spending quality time with loved ones, you can find the author indulging in his other passion, a love of flying, well flying a desktop flight simulator any.
