the zesty rose is a place for nourishment and remembrance.

with a background in rhetoric, mythology, and journalism from the university of california, berkeley, and northwestern medill school of journalism, Margaret holds the intention for the zesty rose to be a place of enchantment, where the tales and legends of edible delicacies across kingdoms and lands may be shared; where story may nourish us as much as the things that enter our bodies.

as a devoted “kitchen witch”, certified ayurvedic practitioner, herbalist, and vegan pastry chef, Margaret creates meaningful culinary experiences that inspire a remembrance of our roots.

using all things locally-sourced, organic, and seasonal, the zesty rose offers sweets, treats, tonics and culinary delights that are medicinal and ceremonially served to invite us into reverence for this bountiful, beautiful, edible earth.
