Hello
I’m Sarah, the founder of Zest.
I genuinely love what I do, and it makes me happy bringing people together — often over good food — to connect, make friends, and enjoy themselves.
Zest has given me the chance to fulfil a lifelong dream I’ve had since I was a teenager, and I’m proud of what it’s grown into.
