Our Founder and Head Chef
Chef Sarah
Meet the driving force behind The Carolina Chef, our head chef, Sarah. From a young age, Sarah's playground was the kitchen, where she honed her skills in kneading biscuits and baking sweets with her family. This early love for food led her to pursue a career in culinary arts. She earned her business degree with a concentration in culinary arts and furthered her expertise in baking and pastry at the Culinary Institute of Charleston.
Throughout her culinary journey, Sarah has gathered hands-on experience, perfecting everything from pecan pie at Magnolia's to crafting pastries and designing wedding cakes on Kiawah Island. However, her true calling emerged when she transitioned from restaurant and corporate kitchens to becoming a personal chef.
Today, Sarah's joy lies in creating local, seasonal meals that offer a personal touch, helping families and friends forge lasting memories in the heart of their own kitchens. Her commitment to excellence and her love for sharing exceptional culinary experiences drive everything we do at The Carolina Chef.
