Personalized Menu Planning
A considered menu begins with understanding how you want the occasion to feel.
A More Personal Way to Plan Your Menu
I use our consultation to learn about your guests, tastes, dietary needs, setting, and the kind of experience you want to create. We can discuss favorite ingredients, dishes you love, foods to avoid, and any inspiration you already have. From there, I shape a menu with a clear sense of flow and purpose.
You receive thoughtful direction without having to manage every culinary detail yourself. Each course is considered as part of the whole, from the opening flavors through the final note, so the finished menu feels balanced, personal, and well suited to your occasion.
Ideal For
Intimate dinners and celebrations
Hosts with specific tastes or dietary needs
Seasonal gatherings and special occasions
Anyone seeking a menu with a personal point of view
How It Works
Share Your Vision: Tell me about your occasion, guests, preferences, and practical considerations.
Shape the Menu: I develop a cohesive menu concept around your taste and the experience you want.
Refine the Details: We review the direction together and finalize the menu for your event.
About
I’m Sarah Sanders, a Los Angeles private chef, content creator, and storyteller. After nearly a decade in animation, including work on The Simpsons, I brought my love of art and storytelling into the kitchen. I graduated from the Institute of Culinary Education with highest honors and gained restaurant experience at Otium under Chef Tim Hollingsworth.
Today, my work spans private dining, custom menu development, supper clubs, culinary events, and food content that brings my creativity and signature apron flip to life. Inspired by my father’s Iranian Armenian roots and my mother’s Brazilian upbringing, I create food and experiences that feel personal, thoughtful, and welcoming.
I’m also a C-CAP mentor and judge, developing a food and media communications curriculum, and writing my first cookbook. Whether I’m cooking, teaching, or sharing a story, my philosophy is always the same: people first, then food.
