A Culinary Haven, Where Food Meets Drinks!

Hello, lovely souls! I'm Zena Tyler, and I am absolutely thrilled to invite you into my world of culinary wonders and creative delights. Based in the vibrant heart of Los Angeles, California, I am not just a cook; I'm a culinary storyteller, a published author of two cookbooks and one delightful cocktail book. But wait, there's more to my story than what meets the eye!

In my kitchen, the aroma of spices intermingles with memories of cooking alongside my Granny, those culinary matriarchs who inspired my gastronomic journey. My culinary adventure took flight on the hallowed grounds of UNLV, the home of the Runnin' REBELS, where I blended the warmth of Southern heritage with the eclectic inspiration of sunny California and the rich flavors discovered during my travels around the world.

Using unique infusing techniques drawn from my home-cook experiences across the globe, transforming everyday flavors and dishes into exquisite creations. Each dish, each cocktail, is not just a recipe; is a symphony of flavors, and a testament to the joy I find in crafting gluttony-experiences.

And oh, my love for exploring the human psyche! When I’m not concocting culinary wonders, you'll find me engrossed in the intricate plots of shows like Criminal Minds, unraveling the mysteries of the human mind and the thrill of legal dramas.

I'm not just a jack of all trades; I'm the artisan of versatility, finding beauty and artistry in every endeavor. I revel in the magic of transforming old furniture into pieces of timeless elegance, and there’s nothing I adore more than a night out in the town, dressed to the nines, savoring the culinary delights of the world.

Nachos and crab cakes are my kryptonite; there's an enchanting tale behind every bite. Let’s talk about food! I could chatter away about the art of cooking, the fusion of flavors, and the joy of savoring a perfectly crafted dish for hours. Food isn't just nourishment; it's a love language, a celebration of LIFE itself.

What sets my creations apart? They are not just meals; they are love letters to the senses, a celebration of diverse flavors, and a testament to the creativity that thrives within my soul. Each dish and cocktail is meticulously handcrafted in small batches right here in the heart of Los Angeles, infusing the vibrant energy of this city into every bite and sip.

Join me in this culinary adventure where passion meets palate, where every recipe tells a story, and every sip is an enchanting experience. Together, let’s embark on a journey of flavors, creativity, and boundless inspiration. Here’s to celebrating life, one delicious bite at a time!

With Love and Flavorful Adventures,

XoXo, Zee
