This weeks we are joined by Julianna McIntosh. Julianna started the platform Join Jules as a cocktail blog back in 2020, and has quickly grown into a major brand and platform. Join Jules was created with the idea that everyone ought to be able to enjoy a craft cocktail at home. In a mixology world dominated by male bartenders and almost overly complicated cocktails, Jules sought to create a new understanding of what cocktails could and should be. Join Jules’ mission is to spotlight the importance of fresh flavors and showcase delicious and accessible recipes for the at-home bartender. Join Jules is a community for anyone with a passion for travel, lifestyle, and of course, a well-crafted cocktail with an emphasis on fresh, seasonal ingredients and visually appealing cocktail recipes. Join Jules Cocktails is becoming a brand that invites any and all to come together, and is helping break the barrier between high-brow mixology and at-home craft cocktails.

Jules has a new booking coming out on July 23, 2024 titled Pretty Simple Cocktails. Pretty Simple Cocktails sprang from the notion that everyone should be able to whip up the happiest of hours right in the comfort of their own home. It’s all about fresh ingredients, top-notch spirits, and crafting drinks that are both delicious and simple to make.

Grown from a mutual respect over perfectly cooked calamari, The Culinary Studio is a partnership between Red Seal trained Chefs Jody O’Malley and Kirstie Herbstreit.

Jody and Kirstie have been in the food industry for over 20 years (although you wouldn't think so!). After both completing University degrees, they set off to culinary school, in Stratford & Calgary respectively to feed their need to cook. After restaurant apprenticeships and college-level instruction, Jody and Kirstie came together to open Kitchener-Waterloo's Premier Recreational cooking school.

After 10 years of in-person teaching, The Culinary Studio evolved into a global online cooking class platform in 2020. Jody and Kirstie quickly learned that there are no boundaries to share their knowledge, their humour and of course their love of food & time honoured cooking techniques.

Recipes taught are tried and true with absolutely no sacrifice in flavour. You will be amazed and empowered with what you create in your own home kitchen! The Culinary Studio motto: no cook is left behind! The Jody & Kirstie guarantee: The Culinary Studio online cooking classes educate, entertain, and guarantee you restaurant results in your own home kitchen!
