Meet the creator: CEO Jake Gutstein cofounded Zest after burning a frozen pizza in his apartment. (The fire department was called.) “Our goal is to give everyone the tools to open up their fridge and cook a great meal with whatever they have on hand,” he says. The app’s cofounders still test every recipe in their home kitchens.
