Sarah loves to cook meals

with fresh, organic and locally grown ingredients. At a neighborhood gathering, her neighbor and friend Jane exclaimed “why don’t you bottle this delicious salsa?” and voila, GourMom was born! Sarah is the author of Great Family Meals, a cookbook showcasing delicious international recipes, available at Borders.

Growing up, her grandparents – “Mem and Pep Mathieu” – were an important influence on her cooking life. These former French Canadian farm kids taught her all about growing a successful garden and celebrating the fruits of their labor at the family table, with crunchy fresh salads, delicious soups, and other tasty concoctions. With those learned skills and a whole lot of time on her hands, she whipped up the most delicious salsa that your chips will ever meet. She also began experimenting by cooking with salsa and found it to be a flavorful, savory simmer sauce.

Sarah is also a writer and Mommy of two great kids. She has many exciting and delicious ideas for the GourMom brand.
