Born in the Slovak Republic before coming to Canada as a child, Zuzana Syrovy discovered two ways to help bridge the cultural and linguistic divide – food and books.

Extensively travelling over the last ten years to more than 35 countries has broadened her culinary palette. Eating at some of the best restaurants around the world such as French Laundry, Amber and Nahm, she has become the premier foodie concierge for her family and friends.

In 2013, Zuzana had the idea to combine her love of reading and eating with her love of connecting people to start the Toronto Book and Brunch Club. Bringing diverse Torontonians together to have discussions about books while brunching around the city every five to six weeks, it is the first club of its kind to combine reading with brunch. The club has over 1,000 members, has visited over 30 restaurants and read over 30 books in the last three years. Zuzana has started the “Brookie” (what the die-hards call themselves) nation and it continues to expand.

Her extensive knowledge of all things books, food and travel related has made her an expert in these areas.

When Zuzana is not reading, eating or travelling, you can find her practicing restorative Pilates, riding an elephant in Thailand or studying the Northern Lights in Iceland.
