tearing vegetables

Hi! My name is Zahra! I am from Brooklyn, NY. I am the creator of all the recipes here on Zesty Zahra.

After creating dishes for a few restaurants in Minneapolis, I decided to start this blog to share my love of food with a wider audience. My two favorite things in the world are cooking and traveling. When not in my kitchen, I spend my time walking around lakes, exploring different countries, and sampling wines.

I am here to share my creative, flavorful, and mostly healthy vegan recipes. Don’t be scared by the word vegan. These recipes will appeal to diverse palettes, vegan and non-vegan alike. Many are nutritious, oil-free, gluten-free, tasty dishes that are great for children, too.

I would love to hear about your experience trying my recipes! Have an idea for a recipe I should create? Feel free to drop me a note here, or tag @zesty_zahra in your Instagram photos and stories. I appreciate the opportunity to learn from you, too!
