Julie Ratowitz was born into a family that valued the joys of eating together and the art of cooking. Her mother, a dedicated culinary educator and caterer, would host regular cooking classes at home and for the park district. It was here, along with family and holiday meals prepared with love, that Julie developed her intricate understanding of flavors, techniques, and the vital importance of quality ingredients.
Julie’s talent earned her opportunities working as a private chef for various clients in Chicago and the northern suburbs, allowing her to explore an array of cuisines and culinary cultures. These experiences ranged from crafting multi-course meals for exclusive dinner parties to tailoring menus for health-conscious clients who required specific dietary preferences.
As her parents aged, and care needs of family became a central aspect of Julie’s personal life. Understanding the importance of nutritious meals, she took on the role of preparing wholesome and balanced options for them, showcasing family recipes that had been passed down through generations. Her cooking became a way not only to provide sustenance, but to lovingly harness the emotional depth of home-cooked meals, enriching their lives with the comforts of nostalgia.
Juile’s love of the culinary world has led her through many parts of the hospitality industry from bars & restaurants to country clubs and caterers. Her membership in Les Dames d’Escoffier has connected her to chefs, authors and food writers, and manufacturers. Her work with LDEI Chicago has included fundraising, mentoring and teaching to the McCormick Boys and Girls Club.
With the same passion Julie has brought to all of her past work, she is ready to serve you and your family as a personal chef in your home. Julie is excited to create nutritious and flavorful meals that meet your particular needs! If you are located in Des Plaines, Evanston, Glencoe, Glenview, Morton Grove, Mount Prospect, Niles, Northbrook, Park Ridge, Skokie, Wilmette, or Winnetka, give us a call today!
