About Us
Meet Zeina & Robert
Zeina
I always say, “Where there’s food, there’s love!” I’m passionate about preparing delicious, healthy food for my family and friends and helping others to do the same for all the people they love.
Over the years I have gathered many ways to simplify how to cook various types of food and combine them to bring out the best in their flavours. I am eager to share my easy, reliable cooking skills with others in a fun, cozy environment!

My culinary journey began when I was a child, learning Mediterranean cuisine from my parents. Although I later spent many years working full time as a hairstylist, my love for cooking never faded. It led to me running a catering business for five years providing homestyle meals for busy families.
I started Zeina’s Kitchen in 2014 to invite people to learn in a relaxed and joyful setting – my very own kitchen – the many quick and easy cooking techniques I have used over the years to make tasty nutritious meals in almost no time. Each class has a fun theme with practical results that people can easily prepare again at home.
Robert
Robert loves to share his joy of a good wine and would often take a few minutes in one of my classes to have everyone share a bit of his latest discovery. As the popularity of my classes grew, people were also curious to know more about Robert’s wine preferences as a member of the Canadian Association of Professional Sommeliers. So together we launched wine-tasting classes for individuals, private groups, as well corporate events. He serves and explains his thoughtful selections which we accompany with the food I have specially prepared to pair with each wine.
