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.

Compliments to the chef

"Diplomatic Spouses Association of Lebanon organized a cooking class with American Chef Sally Jane who just set up her own kitchen space in Achrafié. The idea of last Friday’s cooking session was to prepare something easy and healthy, so we cooked a chilled cucumber soup with roasted jumbo shrimp; Istanbul style zucchini fritters with lime yoghurt sauce; and a roasted red pepper and cherry tomato pearl barley salad. The dessert was a surprise by our Chef Sally: a basil infused ice cream with caramelised pine nuts! All turned out to be very tasty. While cutting and chopping we constantly threw questions at our chef and got a lot of great tips to take home into our own kitchen. The menu was indeed not very difficult to cook and we are sure that we will try everything at home. DSAL wants to thank Chef Sally for hosting the workshop – we had a lot of fun."
