Zoe Adelson wasn’t always a chef, but she was always a creator. A former architect turned food explorer, Zoe spent years designing spaces before realizing that her true passion lay not in constructing buildings, but in crafting experiences—specifically, the kind that bring people together around a table.
After traveling the world, immersing herself in the rich flavors of different cultures, and learning from chefs, home cooks, and street vendors alike, Zoe launched Life With Zoe—a space where food meets creativity, storytelling, and community.
The Birth of Life With Zoe
It started as a personal journal. Zoe documented her favorite recipes, discoveries from her travels, and food experiments in her tiny apartment kitchen. She never imagined that her passion for global flavors and accessible home cooking would turn into a movement. But people resonated with her style—recipes that felt like an adventure but were easy enough for anyone to recreate.
Today, Life With Zoe is more than just a recipe website. It’s a place where food lovers, beginners, and kitchen pros can find inspiration, challenge their taste buds, and share in the love of cooking.
