Get to know me better
My culinary goal is to create outstanding, stress-free cuisine experiences where guests connect and spend time with the people they care about.
From a young age, Chef Maggie Pallan was interested in cooking. At age fifteen she enrolled in culinary school and from there her love of the culinary arts grew and propelled her forward. Over the next 30 years, she would hone her culinary skills by working in hotels and restaurants, eventually attaining the title of Chef de Cuisine of three restaurants at Green Valley Resort, Las Vegas after working at the J.W. Marriott, MGM Grand, Mirage, and Monte Carlo resorts. Before her resort work, she trained at independent chef-owned and corporate restaurants gaining kitchen, front-of-house, and managerial experience. Chef Maggie has trained with noted Certified Master Chefs and has over 30 years culinary and restaurant experience.
Chef Maggie is blessed to have full reign of a large, immaculate commercial kitchen fully stocked with ingredients from the far reaches of the world ready to be transformed into world-class cuisine. She is inspired by local ingredients and cuisines as well as cuisines all around the world. If you can dream it, she can create it!

Chef Maggie's reviews
We had such a great experience with Chef Maggie! She was so friendly and professional and the food was wonderful. If we are back in the area, we would absolutely call Chef Maggie again!

The experience with Chef Maggie was nothing short of spectacular. She arrived on time, was professional, personable, and prepared an outstanding New Year's Eve dinner for our party of 9. She took care of EVERYTHING, including setting an absolutely beautiful table fit for a New Year's Eve fine dining dinner. She prepared cocktails for us and also had a bottle of champagne so we could toast to the new year. Our dinner was delicious and was the best meal our group had during our entire trip. I highly recommend Chef Maggie without reservation! I only wish we hadn't found her while on vacation otherwise, she would become a regular fixture in my kitchen!

Chef Maggie was absolutely amazing. We worked very closely together on the menu beforehand--she was incredibly understanding of multiple edits I requested. Chef Maggie was punctual and came ready with everything for the dinner. She was engaging and taught us how to make each dish and what went into preparing it. And most importantly, everything was delicious.
I'd highly recommend Chef Maggie for any occasion. We will be sure to book her again for our next event.
