Wake Up Your Kitchen

Let’s be honest: “Home cooking” sometimes gets a bad reputation for being plain, repetitive, or just… beige. We are here to change that.

We are Zara, Naomi, Piper, Harper, Quinn, Delilah, and Jade. We are a team of seven culinary creators who believe that dinner should be the brightest part of your day.

If you are tired of the same five meals on rotation, or if you feel like your food is missing that special something, you have found your new home. We don’t just write recipes; we create flavor experiences that fit into your real life.

Our Mission: No More Boring Meals

At Zest Home Recipes, we believe in the power of the “Little Lift.” A squeeze of lime, a toasted spice, a fresh herb garnish these small details turn a chore into a joy.

How We Create Magic:

  • The “Zest” Test: Before a recipe goes live, we ask one question: Does this make us smile? If a dish is technically correct but boring to eat, we scrap it. We only publish food that excites us.
  • The 360-Degree Review: We pass recipes around. Zara might start a dish, but Harper will refine the cooking time, and Quinn will streamline the prep work. We all cook, we all clean, and we all photograph. This ensures that the final result is vetted by seven different perspectives.
  • Real Home Reality: We don’t cook in a stainless-steel factory. We cook in kitchens with messy drawers, picky kids, and limited counter space. If a recipe works for us, we know it will work for you.

Meet The Flavor Squad

We are seven women with one goal: To bring energy back to your table.

I’m Zara Knight

I founded Zest Home Recipes because I truly believe home cooking should never be boring. My personal mission is to wake up your palate with recipes that are vibrant, easy, and full of life. I’m in the kitchen every day cooking, photographing, and giving the final approval on every dish to ensure it brings a spark of joy and a burst of flavor to your table.

I’m Naomi Prince

For me, cooking is purely about excitement. I absolutely love taking simple ingredients and turning them into something bold and unexpected. I work on every aspect of the blog, from brainstorming zesty new combinations to styling the final plate. I tested this recipe in my own home to guarantee it packs that perfect punch of flavor you’re looking for.

I’m Piper Cross

I am completely obsessed with using fresh, seasonal produce to make meals shine. I believe a simple squeeze of citrus or a handful of fresh herbs can change everything. I cook and photograph our dishes with a focus on vibrant colors and natural textures, ensuring they look just as good as they taste when you make them.

I’m Harper Dean


I love the creative challenge of making weeknight dinners feel special without all the fuss. I work alongside the team to develop and test recipes that are reliable but never, ever dull. I prepare our meals in my own kitchen, refining the steps to make sure your cooking experience is smooth, fun, and delicious.

I’m Quinn Taylor


I believe great food doesn’t have to be complicated, it just has to be smart. My focus is always on streamlining our recipes so you get maximum flavor with minimum stress. I cook, time, and taste our dishes multiple times to ensure they fit perfectly into your busy life while still delivering that ‘wow’ factor.

I’m Delilah Moon


Since we eat with our eyes first, I strive to capture the energy and beauty of our food through my photography. I am deeply involved in the cooking process, styling our dishes to show you exactly how appetizing they can be. I hope our recipes inspire you to get creative and confident in your own kitchen.

I’m Jade Summer


I know that reliability is just as important as flavor. I’m the one who loves double-checking measurements and testing temperatures to make sure everything is accurate. I cook our recipes repeatedly, troubleshooting any tricky parts, so you can trust that it will turn out perfectly the very first time you try it.
