Why Mother’s Day Means So Much at Zulay Kitchen
Zulay Kitchen was named in honor of the founder Aaron Cordovez’s extraordinary mother, Zulay. Raised in poverty-stricken Venezuela, Zulay overcame immense hardship to bring her children to the United States. As a single mother, she worked long hours to support her family, yet still found time to prepare healthy meals each day.
Looking back as a husband and father, Aaron now recognizes the strength and selflessness she embodied—qualities that continue to inspire the company today.
Aaron and his wife created Zulay Kitchen to make everyday cooking simpler and more accessible, so families can spend less time in the kitchen and more time together. So, if you're wondering what to gift your mom this Mother’s Day, we've got ideas for every kind of mom!
