As a self-taught baker and a wanderlust enthusiast, I've always had a passion for exploring new flavors and cuisines, which has significantly influenced my approach to cooking.When I embarked on the weaning journey with my son, Zen, I was quickly swept up in the whirlwind of baby and toddler nutrition. It was both fascinating and a bit overwhelming, but I was determined to make this experience as enriching and stress-free as possible. That's when Zen Ate What was born!
