Hi, I’m Sarah, a freelance food and travel writer based in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi. I was born in San Diego, but spent most of my life living and working as a chef in San Francisco. I am the daughter of a teacher and a bartender, both talented musicians. You can find my work in publications such as Forbes.com, HONOLULU Magazine, FLUX Hawaiʻi, hana hou! and many more. I also manage Instagram for natuRe Waikīkī and Slow Food O’ahu. My recipes and culinary travel guides live on this website. My newsletter lives on Substack. I’ve worked almost every position in the hospitality business from the front of the house (currently) to the kitchen, freelance to restaurants. I was a chef de cuisine by age 28, a business owner by 30 and a published writer by 37. I also hosted the podcast, Yoga Unplugged Conversations and created the Year of Ingredients. Firm believer in meditation, yoga and stoicism. Love to swim. Old Fashioneds, gin on the rock and funky natural wine, sometimes. Good coffee, The New York Times and Haruki Murakami novels, always.
