Monica Zaknoun
Chicagoland Co-Ambassador

When I’m not cooking or baking something I saw on Great British Bake Off, I’m caught up in a book. My Lebanese culture is a huge part of me and definitely contributed to my love of baking and cooking, as it’s a very culinarily rich culture. Feeding others has always made my heart warm, so I never pass up the opportunity to plan and host a party. Traveling also lights up my spirit and inspires me to be more creative in the kitchen. Some of my all-time favorite trips have included Istanbul, Belize, Costa Rica, and Greece.
