The zazu kitchen is inspired by a real sense of place. We are authentically Farm to Table, growing much of our produce with the caring attention of our farmer Milo Mitchel. We are as local as local gets and of the season to the moment. Menus are put together after a hunt through the gardens to see what is ripe and ready. Our style is simple and ingredient driven. We like to get the best ingredients and then not mess them up, but let them shine for what they are. Best ingredients are ones that are just picked, some never refrigerated. They speak their vibrance. Husband & wife chefs, Duskie & John share their different styles on the menu. Duskie likes to update comforting American classics (like the "Better Butter", a peanut butter ice cream sandwich along with Scharffen Berger chocolate fondue for dipping). John likes to prepare rustic Northern Italian foods. John makes Zazu's pastas daily with eggs he gathers from our own chickens. He is also responsible for our Black Pig salumi and bacon and all our gelatos. We believe deeply in the responsibility of our purchases, seeking to support small farmers, diversity of agriculture, pasture living for animals, and respect for their life given, using all parts "snout to tail". The kitchen's scraps are saved to feed the farm animals. Come join us at the table!   --  Duskie & John

"...where the service is friendly and the food is great."
                                                                                                     - Michael Bauer, San Francisco Chronicle®

"It's like diner food gone to heaven...The folks at Zazu have hit their stride and are serving up some of the best food in the country. Yes, country, not just county."
                                                                                                      - Jeff Cox, Press Democrat

"bib-gourmand / inspector’s favorite for good value"

 "Best chef, sonoma county ... Best cutest darn thing... It’s not ... because her delicious dishes are sourced completely locally from within a half-hour radius. The fact of the matter is that Duskie Estes, co-chef and owner with husband, John Stewart, at both zazu restaurant + farm ... Makes our mouths water with culinary creations that leave most diners awestruck. Much of that is due to zazu’s onsite farm, with veggies and greens, and the couple’s flock of chickens, which supply the eggs to make handmade pasta every morning, and their home-cured salumi... What Estes does with the ingredients ... matters the most. It’s the reason why she was featured on the Food Network in 2007 and why Emeril Lagasse calls her a friend."
