The opportunity to sell your photos for the magazine Paris Match. It was subsequently that his love for cooking was born. At the time, she was in a relationship with the photographer Jean-Marie Périer, with whom she is still on very good terms. “My first idea was to combine travel, cooking and gastronomy“, she admitted. In addition to her cookbooks, she wanted to be the head of a travel and cooking show. But the charming 50-year-old blonde came up against several walls.
Initially, she only cooked on television with A whole dishon Teva. Despite everything, the mother of Hadrien (born in 2012) and Gaïa (born in 2015) did not intend to abandon her idea.

If the program is no more, the memories remain. Julie Andrieu had the opportunity to travel to no less than 35 countries, including Spain, Lebanon, Japan, Peru, Germany, Greece, Mexico, Brazil and even Italy. “I recorded a show for C8 and I was reminded that I drank foot juice. (…) In South Africa, we were in a fairly large hut which served as a town hall, a dispensary, a church, a bit of everything. We were there for a disenchantment ceremony, which seemed quite common there. I had to attend this. (…) And before entering this house, we all washed our feet in water. So we all came home, there was this very exciting ceremony. And, in the end, I see that everyone is starting to drink rather dubious water from a bottle that is passed from hand to hand. I ask what it is and I am told that it is the water in which everyone washed their feet. We were still around sixty in the room“, she remembered.
Then, Julie Andrieu clarified that she had eaten everything during her travels. Hatched eggs, ant eggs, live grubs, guinea pigs… she tested everything because it was “part of the game“. If she never fell ill by consuming dishes that were outside her usual habits, the beautiful blonde had a health problem… while eating in a hotel. “I fell ill in India, on a personal trip where I left alone. I got very sick, I went to the hospital. It was one of the rare times I treated myself to a fancy meal in a hotel and got sick. It served as a lesson to me. (…) I drank tap water. I did a lot of stupid things, because I didn't realize it at first. Maybe it made me immune“, she concluded.
