  • I am working with Chef Sara in a consulting format and am beyond amazed after just one call. I am starting out as a baker and there are so many things to consider in the beginning. Not to mention all the reasons that could deter someone from wanting to start in the first place. Having so many thoughts and not a clear direction, I "sat down" with Sara via zoom. In a very short period of time, I was confident, excited, and knew exactly what to work on next. Pricing was one of my biggest concerns. She rolled up her sleeves and went through my products, material costs, restrictions, and came up with an exact figure on where I personally needed to be to ensure success. I loved hearing about her experiences and strategies she has implemented in her own business that blew me away. Weeks later, I still cannot stop telling everyone about this call I had with Sara. She will ensure your mindset is in the framework of success. She will motivate you to accomplish way more than you would have ever thought on your own. She has such a unique set of skills that have positioned her to be invaluable to both big companies and small business owners. I am still building, but I know this ONE call has changed the trajectory of my success.

  • Sara was such a gem. She kindly accommodated my food allergy and planned 2 separate meals for me and my husband. The food was delicious and made with fresh/local ingredients. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Sara truly is a great artist!

  • Sara has been an incredible business consultant to work with. I truly love and appreciate the way she serves her clients and manages multiple festivals and projects all at once — it’s genuinely impressive. Her ability to stay calm, organized, and focused while juggling so much is something I admire greatly. Sara is a dedicated professional who works tirelessly and puts her full heart into everything she does. Beyond that, she is also an amazing chef and brings a unique level of creativity and passion to her work. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with Sara will be incredibly fortunate. She is truly exceptional at what she does.
