Zara Alipoursohi - Pastry Chef
I was born and raised in Tehran, Iran. Growing up with a mom who cooked every day and a dad who was a chef taught me the love and passion for food. To me, the kitchen is the heart and soul of a home. It is the place where you feel warm and comfortable, where the lovely aromas of soups, freshly baked bread, flaky pie crusts and fresh cakes permeate the rest of the house. As a kid, I remember flipping through my mom's vintage baking and cooking books, helping her to cook and attempting to recreate the recipes.
After I got my bachelor’s degree in mathematics, I decided to pursue my passion. I believe making food is not just about mixing ingredients, cooking, and eating. It is about adding love as the magic to the ingredients and making the food fantastic.
I have received fourteen international certificates in baking and cooking from one of the top culinary schools in my country, and I have been recognized as the youngest golden chef in 2016 in my country. I love to help people create new recipes with simple ingredients, and my goal is to inspire creativity in people who like to cook or bake.
