I’m Julia!

An Award-Winning Private Chef, Certified Health Coach & 3x Food Network Star

As a 3x Food Network champion, featured on Chopped, Kitchen Crash, Yes Chef, and Alex vs America! I bring professional culinary expertise directly to your table.

Based in NYC and serving clients across Manhattan, the Hamptons, and the Tri-State area, I'm also a Certified Health Coach who believes that eating clean should never feel like a compromise. Every meal I create uses organic, locally sourced produce, high-quality animal proteins, and zero processed ingredients, designed to nourish your body and delight your palate.

Whether you're looking for a private chef for weekly healthy meals, an intimate dinner party, a corporate wellness event, or clean eating support tailored to your specific health needs, I offer a bespoke, deeply personal service rooted in one core belief that food is medicine.

My approach: no seed oils, no refined sugars, no shortcuts, has made me the go-to health-supportive chef for discerning New Yorkers who want restaurant-quality meals made with ingredients that actually serve them. If you're ready to eat better, feel better, and never think about what's for dinner again, I'd love to cook for you.

Lets Dish

Every week I share the chef techniques, clean recipes, and kitchen secrets they don't teach in cooking classes. This is where I teach you to cook without a recipe! Join my Substack, where you will get a front row seat to my fiancé learning to make pasta from scratch.

Real food. Real kitchen. No fluff!

My Philosophy

Julia Chebotar, private chef and health coach, winner of Food Network's Chopped and Alex vs America

Nourish with Purpose

As a health-supportive chef, I believe food is medicine and should be prepared with intention and care. Every dish I create is designed to support physical, mental, and emotional well-being by prioritizing clean, organic, and locally sourced ingredients.

By avoiding processed foods, refined sugars, and unhealthy oils, I craft meals that are both nutrient-dense and flavorful, helping my clients feel their best from the inside out.

Innovate the Classics

I love taking traditional recipes and giving them a fresh, health-forward twist. By respecting the roots of classic dishes while modernizing them to align with clean eating principles, I prove that comfort food can nourish the body and soul.

With thoughtful substitutions and creative techniques, I transform beloved recipes into meals that support a mindful, balanced lifestyle without sacrificing taste or satisfaction.

By simplifying healthy cooking and breaking it down into approachable steps, I provide my clients and followers with the tools they need to take control of their health and enjoy the journey.
