About Me

Hi I’m Chef Heather! I’ve been working in the NYC hospitality and food industry for the past 13 years. Holding jobs in nearly every position, my true passion is in the kitchen. Working as a personal chef and caterer in the melting pot of NYC, I love making healthy eclectic dishes filled with big, bold flavors that satisfy the soul! Considering myself an Interpretive Chef, I fuse various regional ingredients and flavor profiles together providing my clients with a one of a kind, worldly inspired, boldly flavored experience! I thrive in making “Feel Good Food” where the most important ingredient I use is love.
Review from one of my existing customers:
“I hired Chef Heather to create a 3 course meal for 4, to celebrate my sister heading off to college. Chef Heather prepared an exquisitely balanced meal! From left to right and top to bottom. What I mean by that, is that everything complimented everything. Each ingredient was used in a way that the flavors were layered perfectly”

  • Chef Heather Janey’s, first impression is and was noticeable she was punctual. Her presentation skills, personality, culinary art, spices and food selection was on point. Being, Pescatarian was not a challenge for her she made any adjustments to the menu requested and still made it delectable. She made my special day stress free and special. Thank You Chef Janey! You will be hearing from me soon and again..🙏

  • Heather was amazing, the meal was delicious and the presentation was truly a work of art. She was punctual even though it was raining. I was impressed with her description of the dishes as she served us. My family throughly enjoyed celebrating my daughter’s birthday and having Heather as our Chef for the event enhanced the celebration in a great way. I definitely will use Heather again and will recommend her to friends and family.

  • Heather was incredible for my boyfriend and me! She showed up on time and got cooking immediately. We had a Southern food menu, which Heather presented beautifully. We finished every course completely because we just could not get enough of the delicious flavors. I’m eager to hire her again in the future for a larger party so I can show her off to my friends!

  • We had an outstanding dinner experience with Chef Heather. I hired her to celebrate my wife's birthday with a private dinner as we have a newborn at home. She worked within our dietary restrictions to craft a professionally presented, and more importantly, exceptionally tasty meal - I would argue with dishes on par with some of the best fine dining restaurants in New York. She also put us at ease by pacing the meal around our baby's needs in the evening and thoroughly cleaning up after dinner. I wholeheartedly recommend working with Chef Heather and would hire her again for future events without hesitation.

  • Heather came in and helped us out when we needed it most! She created a tailored dairy-free menu for a weeks worth of meals when we just welcomed our second son (a.k.a., no time to cook, clean, etc.). We had more than plenty of food, and every single dish was incredible; our favorites were the meatballs, and the salmon that she cooked to perfection! Everything was flavor-packed, and breastfeeding friendly, which she put time and effort into helping us out with. Not only did she make us all of these incredible dishes, but she also answered every single one of my thousand questions that I had about them, and left our very unorganized kitchen spotless (which was very appreciated, as we do not have time to tidy up right now). Would 100% recommend Heather for any parties or meal prep, and we most likely will be using her services again! Last but not least, she was very kind and understanding, which is extremely necessary during this time in our family’s lives!! The best gift and chef that we could have asked for!
