For Iranian-born actress-turned mom-turned beauty guru Shiva Rose, a devotion to clean living is what informs her every day. Born out of a desire to celebrate a holistic, healthy, authentic lifestyle without sacrificing taste or glamour, Rose began her blog, The Local Rose, and her 100% toxic- and chemical-free skincare line, Shiva Rose Beauty.

And while Rose is passionate about what women put on their skin, she’s just as dedicated to nourishing the body through the food we eat. Growing almost all of the produce she uses in the backyard of her own home that she shares with her two daughters, Rose prepares meals and cooks food that help detoxify the body and nourish from the inside out.

That extends not just to the food Rose eats and prepares for her friends and family, but to the cookware she uses. Rose invited us into her stunning kitchen at her home in the Santa Monica mountains to share one of favorite recipes, using our Zest 7-piece non-toxic set of cookware—her favorite clean living, ceramic-coated pots and pans for cooking at home.
