Chef Max Ehrsam

Personal Chef In Miami

I'm a Mexican personal chef. I'm a fan of eating delicious, well-prepared food of any tradition or culture. When I cook, I specialize in authentic—but modern—Mexican cuisine, which is sometimes complex and quite elaborate, but rewardingly flavorsome and colorful.

I learned to cook from the best—Carmen and Lita (my Mom and my Grandma). Having said that, I've strived for updating our family recipes in order to make them healthier or more contemporary. I've also modified them at times in order to accommodate my guests' eating restrictions.* Nevertheless, I avoid straying too much from Mexico's ancient flavors, traditions, and skills.

All in all, I strive to create not just a delicious meal for my guests, but a whole culinary experience.

*Vegetarian, lactose-intolerant, and gluten-adverse guests are always welcome! Also, don’t fear Mexican food because of its heat—the level of spiciness can always be adjusted to the guest’s palate.

ServSafe certified.

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 learned to cook at...

home, from my Mom. She was great at balancing flavor and nutrition.

A cooking secret...

is planning carefully, using the best and freshest ingredients available, paying close attention to the details, and loving every step of the process.

Chef Max is a real pro. He was on time, polite, and attended to our needs exceptionally well. The airbnb had a few faulty applicamces and he was able to navigate his way around that with ease. Most importantly though, the food was outstanding. We all oved it and will hire Max again when we're in the Miami area without a doubt.

Max is the most incredible! So polite, very easy to talk to, professional! There were times when you didn’t even know he was there. The food is the most authentic delicious Mexican food you’ll ever have! Definitely recommend the tortilla soup & flank steak tacos! Everything was incredible 10/10 recommend

The chef was very nice and he had a lot of experience in cooking . The food tasted incredible— the best guacamole I ever had ! I really enjoyed his good and presentation.

Max was absolutely amazing! The entire meal was wonderful. If I am ever back in the area I’ll be getting in touch!

Max's cooking is delicious, satisfying and exactly what we asked for. Max himself is a terrific, interesting person who's passionate about what he creates, reliable, honest, caring--and at the same discreet and not intrusive.

Max was an absolutely amazing addition to my sister's bachelorette weekend! He made us 3 appetizers, a starter, main entree and dessert. All of which were delicious. He printed menus and set the table beautifully. The crowd favorites were the grilled quesadillas filled with roasted poblano peppers and corn in a creamy sauce, Max's amazing fresh guac and the Mexico City style street corn. Max was super communicative throughout the entire process and he left our kitchen completely spotless. I would absolutely recommend hiring him for any event you're hosting!

Max was a great chef to have at our event! He was very communicative leading up to the event, and was accommodating to specific requests and ideas. He arrived early the day-of, set the table beautifully and left the kitchen absolutely spotless. The food was excellent- the tres leche cake we had for dessert was the best we’ve had! Would recommend Max for sure!

We really enjoyed the meal made by max. The food was absolutely delicious and a truly amazing experience! I highly recommend his services for any dinner occasion!

Chef Max was amazing! He's incredible at his job and was so personable and sweet with our overwhelming group of 14. The food was fantastic – he even included a fun mixer for our bachelorette group. 10/10 across the board. If I ever come back to Miami for a trip, I will definitely be reaching out to him.

Max was a very detail oriented chef who was prompt and very good at communication leading up to our event. On the day of, he guided the evening well through our courses which felt well timed and presentation was great for each dish! We loved the flavors and greatly appreciated him leaving the kitchen cleaner than he found it.

Fantastic meal! Great presentation.

Max was great! We enjoyed our dinner so much. He went above and beyond to make our night special. I’m still dreaming of that corn ice cream dessert! Thank you Max!

Max provided a meal to 14 of us on a bachlor party at our private AirBnB. For the week leading up we chatted over the menu and it was very easy to communicate. He asked a lot of great questions to make sure our event was set up for success. We even got a bonus cocktail! I would definitately recommend Max to host your event... and use his creativity in building a menu!

Max was on time, gave us an incredible experience and his food was super delicious. Would definitely book him again.

Chef Max did a Fourth of July dinner to celebrate our engagement with 15 of our friends— he was very communicative, collaborative, and easy to work with. The food was outstanding and the experience was wonderful. Thank you, Max!

Chef Max was extremely professional from the moment we engaged and was helpful in curating a menu that resonated with our group. He was kind enough to print out custom menus for the table and was engaging throughout the meal, sharing stories about the origin of certain dishes and ingredients being used. The group thoroughly enjoyed his company and we would recommend to any group interested in hosting a custom meal experience while in Miami.

Chef Max was phenomenal from start to finish. He helped curate the menu and really listened to what I wanted. Communication was prompt and clear. I had no worries about whether he’d come on time and prepared. When he arrived, he knew exactly what to do. The food was so delicious and thoughtfully explained to the party. I couldn’t recommend him more!

Max was a really caring and considerate chef who delivered a yummy Mexican fiesta at my friends Bachelorette party. He was incredibly professional and trustworthy. Highly recommend!

Chef Max was so wonderful to work with, from menu selection down to the day of our event. We had great communication, everything went as planned and the food was outstanding. Such intense flavors were the highlight of our weekend and Chef Max’s passion for cooking was clear. Highly recommend.

Max prepared an anniversary dinner for my parents. Before the experience, he was extremely attentive and helpful with helping to choose the menu and being accommodating with the options and the set up. My parents had such a lovely and wonderful experience and raved about the meal for days. They said Max was punctual, the food was incredible, and he left the kitchen spotless. Overall a great experience and would highly recommend!
