Zoe is a writer, coder, and illustrator born and raised in Chicago's Southwest Side. While currently in school for design and software development, she juggles an interest in folk history and the evolution of cooking through many different countries. She couldn't cook at all until her early twenties but now has a few of her own recipes that she can be proud of. Zoe is curious about home cooking and the recipes that appear mundane, but carry a long history behind them. She's still at the start of her journey, but her goal is to combine all her interests and see where they lead.
