About Us

Welcome to Recipes Zest

Three Chefs. One Family. A World of Flavor.

Emily , Jessica , Nancy

Welcome to Recipes Zest, a kitchen where the scent of slow-simmered spices meets the convenience of modern cooking. We are a family of food lovers—two sisters and a cousin—connected by blood but defined by three very different ways of seeing food.

We believe that cooking shouldn’t be one-note. It should be as dynamic as life itself. Sometimes you need the comfort of a centuries-old family recipe that takes all day to perfect. Other times, you need a vibrant, plant-based dinner on the table in twenty minutes flat. And often, you just want something that feels like a warm hug on a plate.

Our Philosophy: The Zest of Life
At Recipes Zest, we believe that “zest” is more than just a citrus peel—it’s an energy. It’s the excitement of trying a new spice, the peace of kneading dough by hand, and the joy of sharing a meal that makes you feel good.

We bring you the best of all worlds:

The Soul: Deeply comforting Mediterranean-Californian fusion.

The Roots: Time-honored techniques and traditional classics.

The Spark: Modern, plant-based innovation and gadget-friendly ease.

Whether you are here to master the classics, explore fresh fusion flavors, or find your next air-fryer obsession, there is a seat for you at our table.

Meet The Family
We are Emily, Jessica, and Nancy—the trio behind the aprons. While we might argue over who makes the best dolma or whether an air fryer belongs in a traditional kitchen, we agree on one thing: food is the best way to say “I love you.”
