The Chef

The Story

Hi! I'm Maddy, a private chef based in New York City. I love cooking for people, whether it’s an intimate week-night family dinner or a holiday party with extended family and friends. My cooking is seasonal and ingredient-driven, and I keep things approachable. I’m happy cooking across cuisines, and I like building each menu around the people I’m cooking for: what they love to eat, any dietary needs, and the feel of the occasion. Some nights that means a relaxed family-style spread, and others a more polished, plated dinner. Either way, the goal is food that tastes great and makes the whole thing feel easy. When I’m not cooking for clients, I’m developing recipes for my Instagram, @handmethefork, writing my Substack, Forklore, and getting ready for my first cookbook, Hand Me the Fork, which comes out with Voracious in May 2027.
