Welcome! I’m Zehorit and I am passionate about flavorful, seasonal and healthy dishes. Cooking is how I express love to my family and how I welcome friends into my heart and home. Sharing the Mediterranean goodness I was fortunate enough to grow up with through entertaining and cooking classes is how I pay homage to my mother, the kitchen queen. Here - is where I share it all with you! Let’s roll our sleeves up and get cooking!

This fall treat yourself: spend a crisp, golden day at an apple orchard.

Whether you crave the more traditional apple pie or unique apple rosettes, there is an apple recipe to satisfy your cravings.

Once you decide on a recipe, make sure to consider the flavor, texture, and type of apple best suited for your choice. Here is a resource to aid in your selection:

If possible, support your local growers by purchasing local apples at your farmers’ market or at your favorite apple orchard (where you can pick up some tangy-sweet apple cider too!). Your apples will be fresher and more flavorful with the added bonus of keeping longer.
