“Real Food for, Real People”
– Julia Toon
Quotes
“Dinner at the Toons is always an occasion to be anticipated. Whether it's a simple Sunday roast, or a whiskey-doused haggis, Julia's ability to craft an epicurean masterpiece from wholesome, fresh ingredients is unsurpassed; and that is just the main course.
Dessert is an entirely different level at Julia's table... I think her white chocolate bread pudding with liqueur-infused custard is probably the closest one can get to pure ecstasy by legal means and fully clothed. Of course, it goes without saying that all of this stellar fare is served up with a well-seasoned helping of love and a heaped spoonful of joie de vivre.”
– James McCarthy
Former Regional Managing Editor, Sur la Terre / Volante
“I have known Julia for over 15 years and can testify (as can my waistline) to her passion for food and love of cooking.
An invitation to the Toon household is one to treasure and the sheer variety of dishes and styles on offer are a sheer delight to all ages and nationalities.
Julia bases her recipes on great ingredients and simplicity – the cornerstone of all great chefs – and like all great artists everything she does comes from the heart”

“We were fortunate to have the talented Julia Toon join our team as Food Editor at ABODE magazine. Like her bright and sunny disposition, her dishes and themes were always magical and congruent to our international readers.
Always ready to experiment, Julia fused her dishes with Eastern and Western ingredients to deconstruct classic dishes, appealing to all discerning palates. This was the brilliance of Julia’s mandate; to adapt timeless recipes using local fresh food and give flavours that joie de vivre. Her enthusiasm was infectious and her fare was compelling.”
