Posen, grew up in a Soho loft and often watched his father cook. In the intro of Posen's book, he stated that as a kid, he wanted to be known as Zachary "The Baker" Posen, as he was obsessed with food. He told Food&Wine, "As a little boy, my mom would bake with me on the weekends—that was our time together. My first love of cooking definitely came from baking—as a teenager, I would bake incredibly elaborate, multi-step, sometimes multi-day cakes and desserts."
