Sarah had a successful career in the world of magazine publishing, in which she used to jealously watch the team of food stylists working on photoshoots and developing recipes. She eventually decided this was for her, so she enrolled onto the Intensive Cordon Bleu Diploma at Tante Marie. Six months later she graduated and now heads up the Food Team at Seven Publishing, for such publications as Weight Watchers magazine. The very people she used to watch longingly!
