    About Us

    At Zimmy’s Nook, we believe that great food has the power to bring people together and elevate everyday moments into something extraordinary. Our mission is to inspire your home cooking journey by sharing our passion for food through creative recipes, expert tips, and trusted equipment recommendations that you can rely on.

    Together, James and Elaine bring a unique blend of culinary expertise and artistic vision to every recipe. James’s love for grilling is at the heart of what we do—his passion for the flames knows no season. Whether it’s a sun-soaked summer afternoon or a crisp winter evening, you’ll find him at the grill, crafting bold, flavorful dishes that showcase his signature style. From juicy burgers to perfectly seared steaks, James’s year-round enthusiasm for grilling sparks fresh ideas that push the boundaries of what’s possible on the grill.

    Elaine’s artistic background adds depth and beauty to every creation. Her keen eye for detail and creative approach to food styling and photography ensure that every dish not only tastes incredible but looks stunning too. Together, we craft recipes and stories that inspire confidence in the kitchen, encouraging home cooks to try something new, celebrate quality ingredients, and enjoy the magic of cooking.

    At Zimmy’s Nook, it’s more than just food—it’s a lifestyle, a passion, and an invitation to savor every moment. Let’s cook, create, and celebrate together!

    Zimmy’s Story

    I’m often asked if my name is Zimmy Snook. As you now know, it is not. My wife began calling me Zimmy one evening, as we entertained our nieces and nephew around the dinner table. Soon after, I was building an enclosure to protect the grill from the strong winds that can occur out back… a bbq “nook” if you will. Zimmy’s Nook is where I am often found (rain, snow or shine), enjoying the view, sipping a glass of wine and grilling.

    Our Philosophy

    Buy the freshest ingredients you can find, prepare them, then share meals with friends and family.

    James and Elaine of Zimmy's Nook

    With my background in leading a retail buying team and Elaine a marketing manager, together we offer a unique skill set to tap into for special projects.

    We would love to discuss the potential for a collaboration!

    We are confident that we’d be able to help you increase awareness, target new customers, drive traffic to your IG account/website, help grow your followers and educate on key features and benefits.

    Let’s discuss your individual needs and learn how we can help amplify your brand!
