Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Miso-butter salmon

    • EmilyR on March 03, 2026

      A slightly elevated salmon… I don’t usually cook it by pan searing, so it was a little different.

  • Crustless supreme pizza skillet

    • EmilyR on March 03, 2026

      I liked being able to make individual portions in tiny pans to suit a variety of tastes. A large part of the flavor is based on the tomato sauce so choose a good one!

  • Creamy white chicken chili

    • Sharongrondin on April 25, 2026

      To thicken blend 1C beans with 1/4 C broth in a food processor

    • Sharongrondin on April 25, 2026

      Maybe also add 1C frozen or canned niblets corn and substitute 4 oz reduced fat cream cheese for the sour cream

    • Sharongrondin on April 25, 2026

      Serve with cornbread.

  • Teriyaki chicken meatball bowls

    • EmilyR on March 03, 2026

      My entire family enjoyed this. I liked the Asian flavors and how quickly this came together.

    • debakken on May 17, 2026

      The chicken meatballs were tender and flavorful. I made a batch and froze them, which made this an easy Sunday night dinner.

  • Mushroom crispy rice bowl

    • EmilyR on March 03, 2026

      This helps to have the rice made in advance. It seems substantial but is nice for a meat free night.

  • Strozzapreti with sausage and crispy sage

    • EmilyR on March 03, 2026

      This was very good, but so generous in portions. We had plenty as leftovers, but they reheated well.

  • Chai-spiced French toast

    • EmilyR on March 04, 2026

      This comes together very fast and could be even quicker blitzing the custard in a vitamix. I used croissant bread, because that’s the fancy kind of Wednesday morning that I needed.

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.
