  • The Union Square Greenmarket is one of Sarah's favorite places in the world.
  • She has severe food allergies, which influences how she thinks about food, eating out, and communicating about food with the public. It's also taught her how to talk to restaurants about how they cook and the ingredients they use.
  • Sarah has a collection of cookbooks from around the world and different time periods, because that's a great way to learn history and culture.
