From a Humble Hobby to a Heartfelt Movement

Where It All Began

Baking from my cozy kitchen in Oklahoma

G’day! I’m Sarah, a mum of two, born and raised in the red heart of Australia, now baking sourdough from my cozy cottage kitchen in Oklahoma. What started as a craving for real bread turned into something much bigger: a little homegrown business, a beautiful community, and a slow but steady movement rooted in handmade food and making an adventure out of the ordinary.

Over time, I’ve shared my story with thousands of bakers, spoken at national events, and helped women take their first steps toward building something of their own. You don’t need a storefront to build something meaningful… just a bit of courage and the belief that small beginnings are worth celebrating.

I believe that home is where slow, meaningful connections take root; not just meals, but memories. A cozy kitchen isn’t a trend; it’s a way of honoring the ordinary. It’s where love lingers, stories are shared, and the scent of fresh bread makes even the quiet days feel deeply good.

FAQs

Have a question? Here are some of the things I’m asked most often. If you don’t see what you need, feel free to reach out anytime.

DO YOU SELL YOUR BREAD LOCALLY? +

Yes! I bake in small batches from my cottage kitchen in Oklahoma. You can place an order through Hotplate link. Preorders start on Saturdays at 10am for pickups the following Thursday afternoon.

Absolutely. You can grab my Sourdough for Beginners eBook (20+ pages of cozy tips, tools, and step-by-step guidance) when you join the Bread & Butter newsletter.

WHAT TOOLS DO YOU RECOMMEND FOR BEGINNERS? +

CAN I REALLY START A COTTAGE BAKERY FROM HOME? +

Most countries and states have what is called Cottage Food Laws. These laws vary from country-to-country and from state-to-state, and they give guidelines on what you are allowed to do without commercial kitchen licensing. So yes, you absolutely can start a cottage bakery from home, but you first need to look into and follow your local cottage food laws. I've helped many bakers take their first steps toward a cottage bakery and my blog posts and digital guides are here to help you begin.

WHERE DID YOU LEARN TO BAKE? +

I'm self-taught. I started with lots of trial and error, a library of cookbooks, and many late-night bakes. Everything I share is what I've learned along the way, and I'm still learning every day!
