What Sara does

  • Cooks recipes before they’re published, and leads the testing team, checking that the quantities, times and steps work in a home kitchen.
  • Notes what the food should look like at each stage, so the recipe describes it clearly.
  • Looks into reader messages and helps correct anything that doesn’t work.
