Founding member of 'Zaar from way back in 2005 when this site was in its heyday. I didn't really start trying to cook until I was in my 20's, but Recipe Zaar really helped build my love for food and showed me the beauty of culinary experimentation. I'm still here as of 2024 so I hope you enjoy the recipes that I've managed to compile over the last two decades. Thanks for stopping by!
