Juliane lives on Sandøya, a whimsical, car-free island off Norway’s southern coast — a place where children roam freely and artists quietly shape their creations.

A passionate chef and mother, she has created a series of vegetarian cookbooks inspired by island life and the rhythm of the seasons.

She also hosts intimate retreats in a charming community house nestled at the edge of the island forest - a space where good food, creativity, and connection come together like ingredients in one of her recipes.
