Hello and Welcome!

Culinary Zest is part of my creative space. It exists to indulge, express and feed my passions for all things Culinary. It has been a long road to this point. Years. Playing with the idea that this was something I could do. Developing. Learning. Testing. Reworking. Hair-pulling. Launching. Rinse and Repeat.
I love to cook, to watch others cook, to learn from them and to share. I love playing with cameras. I want to CREATE and my hope is that I will with Culinary Zest.
I’ve been cooking for 20+ years. Cooking has been one of the most enduring passions I have. I am completely self-taught. I have a deep love of cookbooks that ranges from the simple to professional level culinary textbooks. I always like to say that, “I read cookbooks like other people read novels!”
Good kitchen gear makes me drool, from rarely used pieces to ones I could never live without, they all have their place in my Kitchen.
I’m crazy for cooking shows, can always be found digging through cookbook sections of bookstores and I am proudly Canadian. I call the Maritimes home.
