Aged 18, Zoe moved from Leigh-on-Sea to London; here she studied at the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu school, earning her place through their scholarship program. Following her graduation, Zoe worked her way through some of London’s best kitchens including classical Koffmann's at The Berkeley and Michelin starred La Trompette, absorbing the expertise of many passionate mentors along the way. Zoe moved to Australia in 2016, where she discovered new Asian-influenced techniques and the use of Australian indigenous ingredients at Woodland House in Melbourne. Returning to London in 2019, she worked at the acclaimed restaurant Brat in Shoreditch, before returning to Leigh-on-Sea to cook meals for isolated and vulnerable members of the community when the COVID-19 pandemic began.

Zoe now focuses on creating fine dining meals for people in and around Essex celebrating special occasions such as Anniversaries, Birthdays and Engagements for those who would rather enjoy a restaurant quality meal in the comfort of their own homes. She has partnered with Vino Vero in Leigh-on-Sea, recommending fantastic wines and beers to pair with her delicious menus, to deliver together an exceptional dining experience. Zoe has also held a number of pop-up restaurant events around Leigh-on-Sea to showcase her cooking in a restaurant style environment; sign up to the Zoe’s Kitchen mailing list on the website homepage to stay up to date with upcoming events!
