Me in a Nutshell

Hey, I’m Sara Lynn!

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 modern, cozy recipes to make for dinner parties and get-togethers. In our house, more = merrier, which means that I’m pretty much always cooking for friends (and washing wine glasses).

From family dinners to BBQs to holidays, I grew up in the kitchen helping my family cook up delicious, comforting dishes. It was my time in my family’s kitchen that inspired me to attend 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 recipes. From short rib beef bourguignon to strawberry and apple crumble, my recipes combine basic cooking techniques with approachable, cozy, and ridiculously delicious food that everyone loves.

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 cook, 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.
