Aelea T Zhane

Aelea can most often be found with a cup of coffee in one hand and a laptop in the other. Whether at home in Salt Lake City, Utah or traveling abroad—she basks in the balance of exploration and solitude. Aelea’s passionate about being a vessel for good in the world through her research and writing. (She’s also not a fan of the Oxford comma!)

Aelea is Momma to three amazing humans (and their life partners), Gigi to four beautiful grand-babes and co-parents Lila, the fur-baby. She loves spending time with her family and friends. 

Aelea enjoys a successful reputation as a professional chef and is the Owner/Founder of CookingwithRuthie.com. She loves to travel bringing cuisines, cultures and culinary adventures to her readers.
