Hello and welcome!

My name is Zena and I’m a passionate recipe developer and food content creator. I love food, but I love the act of cooking itself even more. Cooking can be fun, engaging, therapeutic, relaxing, gratifying, and so much more! Whether you’re here for the first or fiftieth time, I hope that my recipes help you find joy in cooking. Expect lots of vibrant food and with big, bold flavours. Bland isn’t in my vocabulary!

ONE PAN SAUSAGE LASAGNA! @zenaskitchen

Ad | There’s a time and place for a proper lasagna but sometimes you just need a little shortcut. Cue this one-pan number, made with a delicious sausage ragu and cheat’s béchamel.

The @knorruk red wine stock pot adds a rich, full-bodied depth to the ragu. Despite being alcohol-free, it has the flavour equivalent of half a glass of red wine, which completely removes the need to buy a bottle!

I’ve been using @knorruk’s red wine stock pots for months now and I honestly love them. I highly recommend buying some and making something delicious for your loved ones this week.

The full recipe for the lasagna is my website zenaskitchen.com. I hope you like it!

Fantastic Fish S2E4: SPICY SICHUAN FISH! @zenaskitchen 

This dish is inspired by Sichuan Boiled Fish, or shui zhu yu. My version stays true to the bold, punchy flavours, but it’s a bit more simplified. It’s fiery, aromatic, and perfect with a bowl of steamed rice to soak up that incredible broth 😍

Head to my website zenaskitchen.com for the full recipe, or simply google “spicy sichuan fish zenasktichen”.

Chicken katsu curry is fantastic, but have you ever had a fish katsu curry? It’s very, very good, especially then paired with a caramelised onion curry sauce 😍

Head to my website zenaskitchen.com for the full recipe, or simply google “fish katsu curry zenasktichen”. 

Thank you for all the love for Fantastic Fish so far! I have lots more recipes coming but I’d love to know if there’s anything specific you’d like to see. Lemme know below!

CRISPY CHEESE BITES! @zenaskitchen ad

These crispy morsels of cheesy goodness are such a treat! They’re made with two of my favourite @tescofood Tesco Finest cheeses: Manchego and Ossau Iraty.

These award-winning cheeses won Gold at the 2024 International Cheese Awards, which is unsurprising because they’re SO good! Make your everyday taste better with Tesco Finest.

The full recipe is on my website zenaskitchen.com, which is also linked in my bio. Enjoy!
