Julie Ratowitz grew up in a home where cooking was more than just a daily task—it was a way of bringing people together. Her mother, a passionate culinary educator and caterer, often hosted cooking classes at home and for the local park district. These experiences, along with cherished family meals and holiday gatherings, sparked Julie’s deep appreciation for flavors, techniques, and the importance of high-quality ingredients.
Julie’s culinary journey led her to work as a private chef for clients in Chicago and the northern suburbs, where she refined her skills across a wide range of cuisines. From preparing elegant multi-course dinners for intimate gatherings to crafting customized menus for health-conscious clients with specific dietary needs, she has embraced the challenge of creating meals that are both nourishing and memorable.
As her parents aged, Julie took on the role of providing wholesome, balanced meals for them, incorporating beloved family recipes passed down through generations. This experience reinforced her belief that food is more than sustenance—it’s a source of comfort, connection, and care.
Throughout her career, Julie has worked in various facets of the hospitality industry, including restaurants, bars, country clubs, and catering. She is an active member of Les Dames d’Escoffier (LDEI) Chicago, where she has contributed to fundraising efforts, mentoring programs, and culinary education for the McCormick Boys and Girls Club. Her involvement in this esteemed network has allowed her to collaborate with top chefs, food writers, and industry professionals, further enriching her expertise.
Now, Julie brings her passion and experience directly to your home as a personal chef. Whether you’re seeking nutritious, flavorful meals tailored to your dietary needs or a beautifully curated dining experience, she is ready to serve you and your family.
