Welcome to the summary page for FabulousFusionFood's Cook's Guide entry for Zest along with all the recipes employing Zest presented on this site, with 701 recipes in total.

This is a continuation of an entire series of pages that will, I hope, allow my visitors to better navigate this site. As well as displaying recipes by name, country and region of origin I am now planning a whole series of pages where recipes can be located by meal type and main ingredient. This page gives a listing of all the Zest recipes added to this site.

These recipes, all contain Zest as a major wild food ingredient.

The Zest is the outer rind of a citrus fruit. It is this region of the fruit that contains the essential oils and which imparts much of the fruit's flavour. When removing the zest of a citrus fruit do so carefully with a grater or potato peeler to ensure that you do not remove any of the bitter pith along with the zest.

As well as imparting citrus flavour to a dish the zest can also be used as a garnish to many sweet dished.
