About Me

Hi! My name is Sara, everyone calls me Cheffy. I love to consider food the building blocks to our entire way of being. Foods directly impact our health, vitality, moods, appearance, life span, etc. My theory is that if you can trace your food and you’ve vetted that it’s coming from a nature focused, non toxic, or regenerative place, your body will respond in a way that feels revitalizing. If I am hired for a small dinner, a wedding, a retreat, or a weeks worth of food for visitors in town on vacation, I keep these principles at the heart of my cooking. I love expanding culinary horizons by way of cultural fusions and seasonal cooking. Can’t wait to meet you :)
