Julie Andrieu, 47 years old, is a slender woman of 1m77. But the gastronomic critic TV host has not always had the silhouette that we know today. In an interview given to TVMagazineshe confided in her weight issues when she was a teenager. “I was, like my mother, a round teenager. I tried all kinds of pretty drastic diets that just didn’t work.before finding a balance by eating healthy”, she said. Before explaining that “It happened naturally. Cooking helps to eat healthy. By cooking vegetables, children enjoy eating them”.
Since then, Julie Andrieu has hosted “Les carnets de Julie” since 2013 on France 3 and has written about thirty cookbooks in all. In short, the mother of Hadrian, 9 years old, and Gaïa, 6 years old, has made it her way of life.

Initially, the companion of Stéphane Delajoux bet on a completely different career, she wanted to be “photo-reporter, journalist”. “Jean-Marie, who had no doubt detected that I was seriously lacking in talent in this area, but who above all wanted to keep me with him, said to me: ‘You’re a little fantasizing about this job. There aren’t many more Cartier-Bresson. For a Sebastião Salgado, you still have a lot of people struggling. Well maybe you can find another way'”she explained on the set of “C à vous”.
Speaking of intimate life, Julie Andrieu announced a few years ago to be “virgin at 35”. “I am very embarrassed because I think I met, as the saying goes, the man of my life about two months ago”, she had started by telling in “Attention à la marche”, the former program of Jean-Luc Reichman broadcast on TF1.
