Me in a Nutshell

Hey, I’m Sara!

Welcome to Sunday Table, my little corner of the internet fueled by cardamom, indie rock, tongue-out emojis 😛, and lots of coffee. Since 2012, I have been sharing recipes for sweet and savory small bites that you can make for parties, holidays, and everyday entertaining. In our house, more = merrier, which means that I’m pretty much always cooking for friends (and washing a dozen wine glasses).

From family dinners to BBQs to holidays, I grew up in the kitchen helping my family cook up delicious, comforting dishes. This eventually led to me to attending a four-year culinary program where I learned baking, pastry, and culinary arts.

Using everything I learned in culinary school, I am now carrying on the tradition of hosting get-togethers for my friends and family with my most treasured, crowd-pleasing small bites. From easy appetizers like bruschetta on garlicky crostini and whipped ricotta dip to crowd-pleasing mini desserts like chewy brownie bites and mini chocolate chip cookies, my recipes combine basic cooking techniques with approachable, cozy, and ridiculously delicious flavors.

I am originally from Las Vegas, but I now live in Reno with my husband, Marc, my greyhound, Bertie, and my cat, Mabel. I have a B.S. in Marketing & Entrepreneurship from the University of Nevada (go Wolfpack!) and love living in the beautiful mountains of Reno-Tahoe. In my free time, I like to play piano, visit local bars and coffee shops, do anything outdoors, drink bourbon, travel, and take lots and lots of pictures. I dream of someday visiting Japan, writing a cook book, and meeting an elephant IRL.

About Sunday Table

At Sunday Table, I hope to inspire you to find a love of cooking and entertaining through cozy, modern, and made-from-scratch small bites and mini desserts. Trust me, you’ll never find basic tortilla pinwheels or dips you’ve eaten at literally every party. Every recipe I create is meant to be elevated, ridiculously flavorful, and simple to make.

And if you’re new to entertaining, I’m your girl! These spinach ricotta puff pastry pinwheels, little smokies in a blanket, and mini chocolate cupcakes are great places to start. Whether you’re throwing a dinner party with friends or heading to your family’s annual Christmas party, my recipes are an amazing plus one to any get-together.

So welcome, friends! Let’s gather around my virtual table, share a bottle of wine, and chat. And if you ever have questions for me (or want to work together!) just drop me a line at hello@sundaytable.co.
