About the Founder
Hello! I’m Zoe Adelson
Lifelong flavor-chaser and the voice behind LifeWithZoe.com. My culinary journey began in my family’s cozy Seattle kitchen, where I learned to coax magic from garlic and lemon. After earning a degree in psychology, I traded boardrooms for back alleys and spent two years exploring street-food stalls from Marrakech to Manila. Along the way I:
- Roamed spice markets in Fez, hunting the perfect ras el hanout
- Learned pasta-making from nonnas in Tuscany’s sunlit hills
- Mastered sushi rolling with Tokyo’s hidden izakaya chefs
- Discovered bold vegan flavors in Vancouver’s culinary labs
Each adventure sharpened my skills and fueled my passion for simple, ingredient-driven cooking. Now based in Portland, I share quick weeknight dinners, indulgent weekend projects, and everything in between, always with a dash of wanderlust. Let’s turn your kitchen into the best seat on the planet.
