Experience

He moved to London for university and was immediately inspired by the eclectic food scene there. His journey into food-writing began with an Instagram account where he documented and reviewed his most memorable meals, gradually expanding to sharing his favorite culinary discoveries across the globe. Wanting to take writing further, Max started a food-based magazine with a group of fellow food lovers, which has had him interviewing some of the most exciting head chefs and restaurateurs in London.
