Maxine Sharf

Find your go-to dishes for every day of the week with simple, delicious recipes from the creator of Maxi’s Kitchen.

Culinary creator Maxine Sharf has built a community of over 4 million people who trust her for recipes that strike the perfect balance between healthy and comforting. Her debut cookbook is all about finding your weekly go-tos: the easy, delicious recipes that you’ll make on repeat to nourish yourself and your family.

Maxi’s Kitchen is organized by day of the week, with intentions for each day that help you pick the perfect recipe to match your mood. Start the week with quick and simple dishes like Honey-Mustard Salmon with Pistachios and Dill, and easy, one-pan meals like Cheesy Enchilada Skillet with Crunchy Tortilla Chips. Get through the midweek slump with fun handhelds like Thai Basil Chicken Lettuce Cups, then treat yourself to an indulgent date night with Creamy Spicy Shrimp Spaghetti. For Maxine, weekends are for spending time with friends and family, so think small bites meant for sharing, like French Onion Crostini, or more ambitious, immersive projects, like Grandma’s Wontons. And Sunday is all about brunch, with classics like Mom’s Fluffy Pancakes.

Maxi’s Kitchen reflects Maxi's multicultural heritage and covers a wide variety of flavors, ingredients, and cuisines to inspire your next meal with recipes you can turn to again and again. Maxine invites you into her kitchen with the hope that her cherished recipes will become part of your family’s traditions, too.
