Max Ratnarathorn is a chef, designer and educator who now resides in Pittsfield, MA after living in Boston and New York City.

He holds a B.F.A. in design from Cooper Union and a Professional Chef Degree from the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts. His love for food started at a young age in his grandfather’s and mother’s kitchens, growing up immersed in the flavors and techniques of Southeast Asia. After a 15-year career as a graphic and interface designer he decided to pursue his life-long passion for food to study traditional French cuisine, adding western approaches and techniques to his repertoire. What emerged is an delicious and aromatic blend of East and West. Max freely borrows from the Mediterranean, Africa, South Asia and the
Far East to create his dishes.

Max currently divides his time between food, design, fine art, and home repair.
