I have had the pleasure of utilising Maddy’s chef experience in the home environment. I found Maddy to be very open to discussing likes and dislikes; dietary/health requirements; suggesting great options; delivery of nutritional and tasty food; and most of all she has a huge repertoire of amazing dishes. There was no rotating the same menu each week (unless that is what you want!) and she covered all options - meat/seafood/vegetarian.Maddy is great at planning out the menu early, discussing it with you and altering as required. Her chef skills are top notch and she was always very punctual and met all my needs.I am happy to recommend Maddy and am sad to see her leave Canberra. Not only are we losing her great skills, we are also losing an even better human.

We’ve had the absolute pleasure of having Maddy cook for our family as a private chef, and I honestly can’t recommend her highly enough.Her food is incredible — always fresh, seasonal, and made with really high-quality whole ingredients. You can genuinely taste the difference. Everything she prepares feels nourishing but still full of flavour, which is such a rare balance.Having Maddy cook in our home has been a complete game changer. It’s saved us so much time during the week and, most importantly, it’s given us more freedom to actually be present as parents instead of stressing over meals. That alone has been invaluable for our family.She takes all the pressure off — from planning to cooking — and always leaves the kitchen spotless. You wouldn’t even know she’d been there (apart from the amazing food ready to go).She’s also so thoughtful when it comes to dietary needs and preferences. Everything is tailored, and you can tell she really cares about the people she’s cooking for.On top of that, Maddy is incredibly reliable, professional, and just a genuinely lovely person to have in your home. There’s a real sense of care in everything she does.If you’re considering a private chef, I wouldn’t look anywhere else.

I have been lucky enough to have had Maddy cook for me privately. Each meal has been beyond delicious! I am still baffled about how she can pack so much flavour into her meals, particularly her sauces. She has also cooked my seafood and steak to perfection - every time.

I had the pleasure of Maddy cooking for me and my extended family over a period of three weeks in January 2026.Maddy’s meal were not only delicious, nutritious, well thought out and presented absolutely beautifully, she was also very flexible with the family’s dietary requirements And catered for all with pleasure. She worked with a variety of meats, seafood, vegetables and amazing sauces/side dishes. Every meal pleased everyone in the family!Aside from her obvious passion for food, her knowledge on nutrition and her hard working ethics, Maddy was an absolute delight to work with. She always had a smile on her face, kept her work spaces spotless and nothing was ever too much to ask, even last minute changes.I did not want Maddy to leave, would definitely consider using her services again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a bright, bubbly & passionate chef.

I would like to recommend Maddy Warren to you. She has a been the backbone of our family.Running our business full time and caring for our three children wasn’t giving us the quality time and experience of life and parenting we had hoped for. When we employed Maddy everything seemedto fall into place and our anxiety went out the window.Maddy is a delightful person and always acts with integrity and professionalism.Her knowledge of nutrition, food quality, catering for varied dietary requirements, meal planning, prep and the beautiful presentation of our meals made us all feel like honoured guests in our own home.I cannot recommend Maddy more highly, as a personal in-home chef and as part of your family life. You will never regret the decision to employ this master chef!Lisa Jones
