Sarah James

Sarah James is an experienced home cook, now back in England after spending seven exciting and challenging years living in a caravan, a collection of sheds and a “magic bus” in France. Growing and cooking food for family and large groups of visitors in France, Sarah remained the “hands on” provider she was in her native England.

Whilst abroad, Sarah's English cooking proved popular with French and English alike, selling home-made produce at food markets and providing cakes to a local French owned restaurant. Sarah was particularly pleased when a French pātissier, having visited her stall at a Christmas market, asked for a copy of her Pumpkin Pie recipe.

Sarah's paternal grandfather was a Master Baker but as he died when Sarah's father was a young child, Sarah never met him and her father's memories of “Bert” are limited. The "debate" rumbles on concerning the influence of genetics in Sarah's curiosity and talent for all things baking.

Sarah is currently working on a number of cookery books and plans to divide her time between England and France once she has recovered from orthopaedic surgery.
