Chef Maddie Sharp

Personal Chef In North Bend

I am a professional chef with 10+ years in the culinary field. I've successfully ran my own catering company, worked in prestigious 5 star platinum clubs, fine dining and taught culinary school. I have won many cooking cooking competitions nation-wide and have medaled internationally. As a previous culinary instructor, I feel comfortable cooking cuisine from all over the globe and using different techniques and unique ingredients. Nothing is out of my cooking realm, and I love a challenge. I enjoy creating menus and hearing feedback from clients.

For me, cooking is...

My love language. There is something so special about bringing a memory or vision to life through food. The look of pure bliss is everything.

I learned to cook at...

Oregon Coast Culinary Institute and continued my education as a member of the ACF Youth Team USA, 2 1/2 year commitment to compete at the IKA Olympics

A cooking secret...

Stay true. Staying true to the product, your environment, and yourself. If you wouldn't serve it to your grandmother it doesn't belong in the kitchen.

I had the pleasure of dining with Take a Chef where Chef Maddie showcased her culinary expertise, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. The diverse menu featured a range of delectable dishes, including fish, stuffed Italian chicken, steak, and pork, each prepared with meticulous attention to detail. The flavors and presentation of the food were truly outstanding, leaving me thoroughly impressed. The fish was cooked to perfection, delicate and flaky, while the stuffed Italian chicken was a flavorful delight. The steak and pork were tender, succulent, and bursting with savory goodness. But the culinary delights didn't end there. The chef's mastery extended to the realm of desserts, and the all of them, chocolate, cheesecake, and even Maddie’s special twist on Smore’s, were simply fantastic. Each bite was a harmonious blend of textures and flavors, leaving a lasting impression. Aside from the remarkable culinary creations, the overall dining experience was enhanced by Maddie’s friendly and engaging demeanor. The conversation flowed effortlessly, and it added a personal touch to the evening. Her passion for their craft was evident in every aspect of the meal, from the beautifully plated dishes to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. In conclusion, my experience dining with Chef Maddie was nothing short of extraordinary. The remarkable fish, stuffed Italian chicken, steak, and pork dishes delighted my taste buds, while the unforgettable desserts provided a sweet ending. Coupled with the chef's excellent hospitality and engaging conversation, this dining experience was truly one for the books. Maddie went above and beyond, offering a special surprise at all the meals. Every day was based on something she heard the day prior. She is remarkable and she cooked for us for 4 nights. I highly recommend Chef Maddie to anyone seeking an exceptional culinary journey.
