JUST FOR YOU PERSONAL CHEF

We make your meal planning easier

CHEF HEIKE ASHCROFT

chef and owner of Just For You Personal Chef

Just For You Personal Chef is a personal chef service on the South Shore of Boston, providing you and your family with personalized meals cooked in your home, that make dinner time stress-free and interesting again.

I am a chef by trade and a foodie at heart. Cooking is more than a job for me – it’s my joy and my passion. Ask anyone who knows me and they will concur. For me, it’s all about delicious food – nourishing and healthy for your week-night dinners; sumptuous and perhaps a little decadent for special occasions.

  • My fiancé and I are so thrilled with Heike. We hired her because both of us work late and we wanted support in eating healthy and saving us time in the kitchen.

    We are so impressed with Heike’s professionalism and care for us! She is very thorough and the menu selection is always innovative and healthy. We appreciate the way she has always worked with us around our various allergies and taste preferences and that is she willing to continue to make some of our favorite things! She takes great care of our kitchen and everything is cleaned up perfectly when she is done. We are so grateful for her service and the difference she has made in our lives.

  • I would like to thank you for your wonderful catering job that you did for my husband’s 50th birthday celebration. Our guests were wow’d!. We loved the delicious celery root & cashew nut soup you prepared. A seasonal delight. Also the fact that you were able to accommodate 3 main dishes was fantastic (meat, fish, vegetarian). I know our guests appreciated the choice. Finally your dessert, beet panna cotta with Meyer Lemon mousse, was unique and super delicious. We had a successful dinner party thanks to your fantastic cooking and preparation,

  • Heike was recommend by our nutritionist. We were excited and nervous at the concept of someone in our kitchen weekly. It was a big venture for us to entertain. This could be wonderful but for parents of small children with food allergies also concerning. After the very first day we knew it would the best decision for our entire family.

    We enjoy healthy meals that taste delicious. Which of course is a tall order for a family of four. Heike chooses organic ingredients and cooks the dishes to our preference. We are thrilled to know the ingredients and the equipment that the food is prepared on are healthy and nutritious.

    Heike is kind, professional, delightful to have in our home and around our children and her cooking is exceptional. We enjoy her weekly menu recommendations and phenomenal dishes. It is our pleasure to highly recommend Heike Ashcroft.

  • We began using Heike in October 2017. It’s been 6 months of worry free meals for our family of 5. Our kids are high school and middle school ages so like so many people our schedules from after school on are crazy! Meal preparation had become increasingly hard and I finally threw in the towel and realized I needed help. Heike is an amazing cook! She was thorough in sitting down and understanding our family and our preferences. Every two weeks she emails us her menu suggestions for her next visit. She hasn’t yet repeated a menu item ... that’s amazing! I am happy to completely turn over my kitchen into her hands for an entire day once every two weeks. Heike has been a godsend and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a personal chef!

  • Heike Ashcroft has been cooking for us since January 2018 and improved our lives immensely! Nutritious and the most delicious meals with every visit. Heike interviewed us before beginning as to our likes/dislikes and allergies. And gave us some direction to be prepared for her bi-weekly cooking day. Very organized, flexible with menu choices, a creative chef and delightful to have in our home for 8 - 9 hours! At the end of the day the kitchen is spic and span, the freezer/refrigerator is full and the house smells fabulous. We can’t wait for her to leave so we can dive into the meal we choose for that night!

    Heike plans the meals, she consults, she shops, she creates and she cleans up … we are very spoiled. We highly recommend Heike as your personal chef, too. You will not be disappointed.

  • I have had the pleasure of taking two cooking classes from Chef Heike.

    Her ability to communicate and demonstrate methods and procedures required for successful cooking was excellent. She provided numerous tips, techniques and tricks for executing specific menus, and gave me a great deal of general information for use in my future culinary efforts.

    Chef Heike is able to put people at ease in the kitchen and makes food preparation approachable and easy for people of all culinary skill levels.

    I was very impressed with Chef Heike professionalism and would certainly enjoy working with her again!
