“Julie: Thanks for everything yesterday. You and your team were awesome. The food was superb! And I very much appreciate all the little extras you threw in (I loved those fried shrimp appetizers). Scallops were delicious. Lamb was perfect.
If you ever need a glowing recommendation or a reference, don’t hesitate to have anyone reach out. Best, Peter.”

“Last Friday night my partner John and I enjoyed a romantic gourmet dinner together in the comfort of my apartment. I was a bit unsure how Julie Chef and her assistant would find what they needed in my somewhat cramped and under supplied kitchen, but they were creative and fun in using what I had on hand to complement the supplies they brought with them. Every dish was exquisitely presented and mouth watering delicious (the black ink pasta with mussels, garlic and white wine was completely delectable), so much so that John and I cleared every plate. Toward the end of the meal, I asked that they save most of my servings for another time, so I had delightful leftovers to carry me through the weekend. Most of all, I want to underscore how unique the dining experience was for us. Julie Chef and her assistant bid us farewell when we were enjoying our dessert (light but yummy panna cotta and fresh berries), and we lingered over our wine (chosen especially for us from Julie Chef’s own cellar). They left my kitchen spotless. For a customized, intimate, and wholly original romantic dinner–where you only need to move to the sofa to relax afterwards–Julie Chef deserves unending praise and grateful thanks. The memories around this sumptuous meal will remain with us for the rest of our lives. Love, Mary and John”

“Julie’s cooking has, on every occasion, been a delight. She tailors her menus to varying nutritional concerns, earnestly accommodates every request, works well under pressure–even with 29 guests–and leaves the kitchen cleaner than when she arrived. She is very pleasant to work with and a delight to have in our home. A very talented cook and an exceptional person.”

“Julie’s wonderful cooking talent only begins to explain the fantastic job she did catering a dinner party. I was able to enjoy feeling like a guest because she handled everything from suggesting menus, to shopping for ingredients, to clean-up. Preparing and serving professionally, Julie and staff were a pleasure to have in my home. They helped to make the evening a special occasion and I look forward to having her back.”

“I am always excited to see what Julie will prepare next. Her meals are flavorful and the presentation is unique and inviting. Julie works efficiently in the kitchen, and I have been particularly impressed by her dinners. Even though she was preparing a small meal for two, Julie’s attentiveness and professionalism were equal to that required if preparing a feast for a dozen. Julie’s cooking has convinced me that you can have healthy and tasty meals in manageable portions. It is always a treat to have Julie in the kitchen!”

“Julie is the perfect chef for any event. She can organize and prepare an elegant dinner party, a fun and creative children’s table or an an innovative culinary adventure for the gourmand (probably all three in one night if she is asked!) The table is always wonderfully arranged (she’ll even make sure the flowers are perfect). The most important comment about Julie’s work, aside from her masterful cooking, is her elegant personality. You will be proud to have Julie in your kitchen, but even more so, in your home”.

“My family and I spent the summer of 2007 in the Hamptons and Julie was our chef serving 12 people, in two different homes. The food was always delicious and the table settings superb. She shopped for organic local products and this detail to her ingredients, her cooking and presentation was very important. She always showed grace under pressure, in any situation, and was very professional. She is proud of her work and we were very lucky to have her”.

“Julie has helped us host two large dinner parties in Manhattan. On both occasions the food was a triumph, and Julie and her team a real pleasure to spend time with. We heartily recommend Julie’s services and look forward to the next time we can work on an event together”.

“My husband and I invited Julie to prepare a romantic dinner for us, and we were immediately impressed by her warmth and professionalism. She enthusiastically accommodated our indecisiveness by planning a delectable tasting menu of her signature dishes. The food was all prepared with fresh ingredients from the market, and each dish was beautifully presented. Julie has incredible talent as a chef, and she brings her elegance and grace to everything that she serves. It was an evening we won’t soon forget.”

“Julie and her team cooked for my wedding. There were 120 guests and the food was incredible! People were giving me a lots of compliments about my dress and about the food! She also brought silver plated trays and serving utensils that made the food table look very fancy. I’m very pleased and would definitely call her for my next event.”

“I wanted to do something different for my boyfriend’s birthday so I searched online for unique gift ideas and came across Julie’s website so I gave it a try. It was a spectacular romantic dinner for two that my boyfriend will never forget. Seven course dinner with wine, everything tasted like heaven! She even brought flowers and set up the table really nicely. We had a wonderful time. Thank you, Julie!”

“Julie was recommended by a friend right after I gave birth and needed someone to come and cook at home healthy food for my husband and me. Having her three nights a week was a lifesaver. She prepared enough food for next day and even froze extra for the future. I felt I really needed nutritious meals and not take out so it was a perfect arrangement. I definitely recommend her services.”

“I found Julie on Craig’s List and decided to use her service for a 25 person informal birthday party.What an excellent find! The food was superb, and Julie and her staff were wonderful. She was well organized and timely and all of my guests raved about the food. Everyone had seconds. I left all in Julie’s capable hands and she did not disappoint. She was very accomodating to dietary considerations and the food was all fresh and wholesome, as well as delicious. It was a birthday party that will leave a lasting impression for me as well as my guests. I wholeheartedly recommend Julie for your events.”
