Everything from choice of ingredients to presentation was thoroughly thought out; Max genuinely cares when he cooks for you! He can also cater to a variety of diets and preferences. I follow a vegan diet and when attending one of his dinners he was very mindful about my dietary restrictions, incorporating foods I could enjoy with the rest of the group as well as providing me with delicious options for myself.

Max has completely transformed the way I approach hosting. As a Chiacogan hosting my multi-generational, picky, epicurean family on Lake Michigan has always been a challenge.  Max's soulful inventive approach has made it not just a relief but a joy. His fluency with complex palettes and dietary sensitivities (he's a dad of two young kids himself) is hard to find IMO. Beyond his culinary skills, Max is a genuinely warm and personable presence in our home — his energy really sets the tone.

We've been fortunate enough to experience Max’s cooking on multiple occasions. Each meal is better than the last! His talent for elevating dishes while also keeping things approachable is second to none!

Max is so personable and energetic, while staying laser focused in the kitchen. Not only is it a pleasure to delight in his cooking, it’s mesmerizing to watch him create and build a plate with layers of flavor.

Max is a true talent when it comes to the kitchen. His ability to put together creative, imaginative dishes that are DELISH is amazing!  To top it all off, he has the best personality - he will be a fun, witty and super friendly addition to your event!

With a busy schedule and 9 month old, we needed someone to help us get through a crazy work week with meals for my husband and I (who WFM) and our little guy + the nanny. Max blew us away!!! The variety was stellar. Delicious yet super nutritious, and perfectly handled our dietary restrictions. Thanks to him we, not only survived our week, but had so much more energy. Cannot wait to see what he does next!!

If you haven’t had the pleasure of dining with North Shore Provisions, you’re in for a treat! Max’s creativity and attention to detail are evident from the first bite! We’ve had exceptional family style and plated dinners from NSP. We are still dreaming about his duck ragu. Max’s cooking style, versatility, and impeccable vision are just some of the reasons we will continue to use North Shore Provisions for every occasion!
