Today's guest is Zoey McKenzie. A very accomplished mentor in the tech world, who is not only beautiful, which she truly is, her beauty radiates from within. After speaking with her you get a true depth of her kindness and charm.

We chat about Jamaican Canadian cuisine, pasta pasta pasta, cooking with her mom, watching her grandmother bake, meeting her half siblings, the draw of Jamaican culture and food, food styling, home gardens, the charm of Monty Don, and opulent holidays dinners.

Something has been on my mind a lot is how hard this year has been on everyone, especially on new mothers. Zoey and I met for lunch (she had pasta!) the week before Toronto shutdown for our first lockdown in March 2020. I think she was the last person I ate at a restaurant with… She had her gorgeous daughter Zsa Zsa shortly after, who I can’t wait to meet.

We talk about how excited we are about traveling with our kids, meals we’re excited to share with them, and also so excited for beautiful simple meals shared with family and friends.

I hope you’ll enjoy, Cheers!
