I spice up life with authentic—yet modern—Mexican flavors, turning every meal into a colorful, thoughtful experience tailored to your palate.

Max Ehrsam

I create modern Mexican meals that stay true to tradition—and feel unforgettable at your table.

I’m a Mexican personal chef and a fan of delicious, well-prepared food from any culture. When I cook, I focus on authentic Mexican cuisine with a modern touch—sometimes complex and elaborate, always rewarding, vibrant, and full of flavor.

I learned to cook at home from my mom and my grandma, and I keep refining our family recipes to feel healthier, more contemporary, and guest-friendly without losing Mexico’s ancient flavors, traditions, and techniques. I’m ServSafe certified, I welcome vegetarian, lactose-intolerant, and gluten-adverse guests, and I can always adjust the heat level to match your comfort.

Talk to me

For me, cooking is an expression of love—I don’t find many other opportunities in life to use my talents as a way to make people happy.

I cook with heart, precision, and deep respect for Mexican flavor.

I cook to make people happy.

Cooking is my expression of love, and I treat every dish as a chance to care for you and your guests through flavor, warmth, and hospitality.

I learned at home—and I still cook with that balance in mind.

I learned to cook at home from my mom, and I carry forward what she did best: balancing bold flavor with real nourishment, then refining recipes to fit modern tastes and dietary needs.

My “secret” is careful planning and obsessive attention to detail.

My secret in the kitchen is planning carefully, choosing the best and freshest ingredients I can find, paying close attention to the details, and loving every step of the process.

Chef Max was absolutely amazing. He was a pleasure to be around and have in my home. At first I was skeptical of who exactly would be showing up at my house, but the moment I met Max, I had no worries at all. He was extremely communicative throughout the entire process. The food and timing was excellent, and he left my kitchen cleaner than he found it. 10/10 would recommend.

Max was a wonderful chef. Very professional and personable with each member of our family. Max prepared 2 to 3 meals a day for a week for my family and each meal throughout the week was better that the meal prior. He shared stories of how he learned some of his recipes and was willing to modify each menu to accommodate those with meal preferences such as Vegitarian. The food, presentation, prep and clean up all were spectacular. We enjoyed Max and Andres and would definitely like to hire them for future family events. Thank you!

A great private chef is more than a good cook. Max understands that. He is creative, engaging, attentive to detail and a great cook to boot. Max will plan a great meal and then make the whole night work. He makes you a brilliant host.

Chef Max was fabulous in every way: Excellent, prompt, polite, clear communication, a good listener who made thoughtful suggestions as we discussed the menu ahead of time. Every course was delicious, prepared with care, using fresh, good-quality ingredients, and presented appealingly. Highly recommend his flan, but really, every dish was outstanding. He left the kitchen tidy and spotless. Max was knowledgeable, patient and thorough. We had a terrific, relaxing celebratory dinner, and I hope we can work together again.
