Hi, I’m sarah
I founded Tenzo Kitchen in 2022 to create nourishing, intentional meals and experiences. I work with clients in a variety of ways- from in-person demonstrations and private events to online 1:1 coaching and my signature prepared meal services.
about me
Born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, I graduated from Northwestern University summa cum laude for my undergraduate studies of the French horn and continued on to Manhattan School of Music for their Masters program. I left the classical music world in 2012 to begin working in kitchens professionally. I spent fifteen years consuming a primarily plant based diet and recipe blogging prior to working as a cook. This led to my first full time culinary job at the infamous and beloved vegan restaurant Pure Food and Wine in NYC. Over the next decade, I spent time in the kitchens of many reputable American restaurants including Pok Pok Ny, Rolf and Daughters (Nashville), Please (Cincinnati), and several on Nantucket, including Galley Beach and American Seasons. My restaurant career culminated as the opening Chef de Cuisine at Via Mare from 2019 to 2021. I left restaurants to pursue entrepreneurship and full time self employment.
Dream it
In 2020, I started an organic herbal tea company, Moon Mojo, with ingredients from New England farms and beautiful blends to augment the beauty of daily life with ritual and the power of plants. In 2022, I launched Tenzo Kitchen which offers prepared foods, catered events, and private chef services.
I have always been deeply curious- especially the intersection of metaphysics, spirituality, and modern science. I am an avid reader and I spend time in nature on a daily basis.
I love to travel and study.
live it
I am privileged to have had exposure to yoga, meditation, and personal development from an early age. I became a certified yoga teacher in 2020 under Matt Giordano. My practice draws from Iyengar, hatha and kundalini practices as well as elements of western functional movement, somatics, and martial arts.
You can take a public class with me on Nantucket at Supta Yoga (yoga, sound healing, and breathwork) or Nantucket Cycling and Fitness (yoga, strength training, and heavy bags/kickboxing).
I work with a limited number of clients on a weekly basis for one on one or small group strength, conditioning, and/or mobility training.
Among my ongoing studies, astrology is a primary interest of mine. You can book a reading with me through The Copper Rose or read my Substack for New and Full Moon horoscopes.
