Welcome! I’m Zehorit and I am passionate about flavorful, seasonal and healthy dishes. Cooking is how I express love to my family and how I welcome friends into my heart and home. Sharing the Mediterranean goodness I was fortunate enough to grow up with through entertaining and cooking classes is how I pay homage to my mother, the kitchen queen. Here - is where I share it all with you! Let’s roll our sleeves up and get cooking!

Food in the Year of Corona- Day 3! Corona-Tempura-Mahi Mahi. Went a little overboard with the leftover batter 😊 Onion rings + Battered zucchini. Had some oven fried sweet potato fries and Purple cabbage-carrot slaw. Yummy, yet a little monochromatic

Food in the Year of Corona-Day 2: Mango-Lime-Corona cake. Tropical flavors on a Minnesota winter night with @oheilicher ? Can’t complain!

Humble beginnings lead to delicious flavors! Thank you to the Seidman-Sokol family that joined me tonight for a private cooking class! Knife skills, roasting, soup making and pan sauces... all in a day’s work!
