Catering

Seasonal, simple, beautiful, from-scratch food prepared using the best quality ingredients for your event at home. A selection of canapés, starters, sides, mains, and desserts that are inspired by the incredible bounty of Jordanian ingredients.

Events

Whether it's a pop up dinner at some gorgeous location or a culinary demonstration showcasing a food brand, I always strive to create meaningful and delicious connections between my guests, the producers and farmers, the landscape, and me.

Culinary Consulting

My emphasis is on fresh flavors using locally sourced, seasonal ingredients is the cornerstone to any restaurant menu I create. Whether you’re starting a new concept or need help reviving an existing one, I have years of experience working in different countries around the world creating creative, delicious food for your customers.

Food Writing

This is where culinary conversations begin. I write about culture, recipes, travel, people, and where these pieces intersect for a range of food publications. Understanding where a recipe or ingredient comes from, the people who are the stewards of its history, the land it comes from, and the culture it represents, gives my writing and recipes a rich and contextual weight.

Storytelling is Important

Personal History
meet sally

It has been through my years of living around the world and working for my catering and private clients in London, Paris, San Francisco, and even a luxury sailboat on the Mediterranean, that my culinary style has evolved. My recipes, writing, and food philosophies all celebrate seasonal cooking with an emphasis on fantastic local ingredients which results in a healthy, innovative and (most importantly) delicious, farm-to-table approach to cooking and eating.

Now living in Amman, Jordan, my focus is catering, consulting, and hosting events that reflect this philosophy, while also telling the stories of the ingredients, farmers, chefs, and places that inspire me.
