Helping you find joy in cooking with easy, delicious recipes.
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!
Delicious pasta dishes. From rich, slow-cooked ragùs to no-cook pasta sauces, my collection of pasta recipes has something for everyone.
Vegan food doesn’t have to be bland or boring. My tasty plant-based recipes with satisfy even the most avid of meat eaters.
Chicken is king in my house so I feel it deserves its own category. Whether it’s wings, curry or the perfect roast, I’ve got you covered.
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”.
