About Sarah:
I was raised in Northern Virginia and went down the law school path for many years - I majored in history, took the LSATs, worked for lawyers and started filling out law school applications when I quickly pivoted and on a whim and went to The Pratt Institute to study Interior Design instead.
While I was at Pratt, living in Brooklyn, I interned at Helpern Architects in NYC.  There I met my husband Jason.  I thought he was too intense and avoided him, but we got drunk at the Christmas party, shared a cab home and the rest is history.
I  LOVE to entertain and feed people.  Food is love.  I tried working for a party planner for a bit but it wasn't a good fit, but cooking, sourcing food, meal planning and organizing dinner parties is one of my favorite things.
I wish I was a farmer.  I love the planning, being outdoors and physical labor of gardening and producing ones own food.  I have 9 raised bed in the our tiny yard that produce food for almost 8 months a year.  We can, freeze and consume most of it our selves.  I love the seasons and how the natural world is all connected and controls our garden.  Nature and the weather are bigger than us and we just have to roll with it. In retirement I hope to own a small maple tree farm.
I have two sons - Dylan age 10 and Jagger age 7. They are smart, fun and adventurous. We live in a tiny house on a tiny island off the coast of Connecticut. where we swim, boat, fish, sit around a fire pit, have an ice rink in the winter, have communal events + seasonal traditions with our small island community... we definitely make the most of where we are!
In Sarah's words her top 5:
1. The only foods I hate are kohlrabi and blue cheese
2. I’m half Persian Jew and half New York Jew
3. A Heisman trophy winner performed our wedding ceremony
4. I have a weird obsession with ear wax
5. I have a huge cookbook collection
