About Chef Live!
Chef Richard Julien
Chef Live is led by Halifax-based chef and culinary storyteller Richard Julien, a professional chef with over 20 years of experience in top kitchens, specializing in event catering, menu development, and interactive culinary experiences across Nova Scotia.
Throughout his career, Richard has worked in respected, high-level kitchens while developing a cooking style that is approachable, flavor-forward, and rooted in quality ingredients. His work and perspective on food have also been featured in local television and radio, including appearances on Breakfast Television Atlantic and Canada AM, where he shared practical cooking ideas with home cooks across the region.
At the heart of Chef Live is the belief that food is about more than recipes—it’s about connection. That same philosophy carries into The Backstage Kitchen Podcast, created and hosted by Richard. The podcast explores food, creativity, and the stories behind the people who make and share it—featuring chefs, artists, and local voices. Through conversation and storytelling, the podcast highlights how food brings people together and builds community.
