Sarah Brennan

Chef

(she/her)

Sarah’s relationship to food is guided by the permaculture principles of earth care and people care. With an educational background in environmental science and farming, cooking has become a way for Sarah to embody what she cares about most: our local communities and the ecosystem's health. Sarah has been on a journey of exploring culinary nourishment since 2015. Her expression of working with food has looked many different ways, from cooking for a food truck serving up organic superfoods to hosting large-scale farm-to-table dining experiences. In 2021, she launched a California-Korean pop-up project in Santa Cruz, CA, with Korean chef Piper Lee to bring seasonal and traditional homestyle Korean cooking to the community. Her cooking excursions have been rooted in an affection to share the pleasure, joy, and healing that intentionally sourced and lovingly created foods can offer her community. Sarah is primarily inspired by Mediterranean and Asian cuisines, with a seasonal twist, always bringing bright flavors and colorful aesthetics to her cooking.
