About The Zest
The Zest Catering was born out of a passion for gastronomy and for the people we cook for.
It is the little extra herb, the flower, the unexpected spice, umami or crunch that brings back a memory and puts a smile on your face.
Our menus are diverse, colourful and seasonal, and we use the freshest ingredients we can find.
About Chef Julie
My first food memory is picking strawberries in the fields and carrying baskets of them back to my grandparents’ house, where my grandmother turned them into endless jams, compotes and cakes. Later it was poaching live lobsters with my father, and the first juicy bite. He also introduced me to Asian, Italian, Japanese and French flavours early on, and that curiosity has never left me. I still want to try every new dish and create my own.
In 2018 I completed the Diplôme de Cuisine at Le Cordon Bleu London and went straight into the kitchen of a Kabuki sushi restaurant, a Michelin-starred group. From there I worked as Chef de Partie for several fine-dining caterers, ran a food truck, and cooked at the Action Against Hunger food fair.
In 2020 I finished a Master’s in Hospitality at EUHT StPol in Barcelona, specialising in Food & Beverage and Restaurant Management — the foundation for starting my own company.
The happiest moments in my career have always been the same: shopping, planning, preparing and cooking for family, friends and events.
My team and I look forward to creating lasting culinary memories for you.
Sounds like your kind of party?
