MARKING A MILESTONE
Celebrating its 35th anniversary this year , ZOV ’ S has partnered with UC Irvine ’ s Susan Samueli Integrative Health Institute to develop a three-course meal in honor of the occasion . This special menu — a collaboration between the restaurant ’ s founder , chef Zov Karamardian , and Samueli Institute Executive Chef Jessica VanRoo — highlights their shared dedication to the power of the culinary arts to transform our health . The three courses include roasted beet dip with tahini and toasted pita bread , pan-roasted sea bass with seared zucchini cake and toasted feta in a lemoncaper sauce , and a chia seed yogurt with fresh mango and turmeric for dessert ; it will be available indefinitely at all locations , but may receive some seasonal updates . Zov ’ s is known for its focus on locally sourced , fresh ingredients and creative , healthy , Mediterranean-inspired dishes . The restaurant , which started as a catering company in 1987 , has received numerous awards over the years . In fact , Karamardian is credited with introducing OC diners to Mediterranean cuisine in the 1980s and has been recognized for helping to shape the region ’ s culinary landscape . She was also honored by the state as the 2004 Chef of the Year , has written two cookbooks , hosted dinners at the prestigious James Beard House and even cooked alongside Julia Child at Zov ’ s in Tustin . Other locations include Newport Coast and Irvine , with plans to open a fourth restaurant in San Clemente early next year . ( 949-760-9687 ; zovs . com ) — S . S .
