Zenbelly

Im so glad youre here. Why? Because my most favorite thing is to help home cooks feel like pros in their kitchens. Ive been cooking professionally for a long time around 25 years and Ive learned a whole lot along the way not in culinary academy or staging under famous chefs, though. Ive learned just by cooking: in restaurants, in private homes, and... in my catering kitchen in San Francisco. Heres the main thing Ive learned: Most of it is pretty easy once someone shows you how to do it. So thats where I come in. My goal is that through these recipes, you gain two things: Yes, I call myself a chef because I have earned that title, but that doesnt mean that anything I cook is complicated. Everything here on the blog is created for home cooks who are looking to feed themselves and their families and maybe even impress their friends. I promise you this: You can make all of it, and youre a better cook than you think! A little more about me: In addition to creating recipes for this site, I also offer virtual, interactive cooking classes. You can sign up for one of those here . Im a big fan of wine, and until a couple of years ago, had all but given it up because of the headaches it gave me and the brutal hangovers I got from just a glass or two. Finding Clean Crafted Wine has been an absolute game changer I loved it so much, I became a rep for the company. You can read more about that here . Ive written some cookbooks, which probably wont ever feel like real life: The Zenbelly Cookbook , The New Yiddish Kitchen , and Paleo Soups & Stews . See you in the kitchen! PS: Signing up for my weekly emails is a great way to keep in touch, and Ill send you a 20% off coupon for one of those cooking classes I mentioned. Sign up hereRead More
