Welcome to Make Love in the Kitchen!

Friends who both share love with their families and friends by creating healthy, whole, delicious meals in the kitchen, Max and Stephanie started this blog to inspire others to do the same.

Max Nazabal is the Chef behind the site. After studying gastronomy at Le Cordon Bleu, Max’s passion has taken him to Chicago, Seattle, Raleigh, San Francisco, Oakland and mostly recently to New York City. From sourcing ingredients to the final production, he mastered putting everything into what he cooks while mentoring until Ed Mitchell in North Carolina. Today Max can be found in Midtown Manhattan as the Executive Chef at the new Renaissance hotel.

Stephanie Sawyer is the heart behind the site. She started Make Love in the Kitchen as a blog to share nutrient rich, plant-based meals and recipes. She lives in California where she cooks for her family with ingredients from the organic garden she lovingly grows in her backyard.

We are both so glad you found our site. We hope the love from our kitchen spreads to yours.

Gratefully,

Max and Stephanie
