Sarah Cook

Every six months our cookery team works with, and helps train, a new graduate from Leiths. Sarah will be with the team until January 2007

Sarah has been our cookery assistant since July 2006 after graduating from Leiths School of Food and Wine. She won the place through a scholarship scheme that's run between Good Food and the school.

Her role in the team

Sarah's role as cookery assistant means she is normally found in the Good Food test kitchen. She makes sure the team has everything it needs to create recipes and test them. Her endless tweaking and re-testing of new ideas helps ensure that every recipe has the perfect outcome.

Sarah's also responsible for our reader recipe feature and she loves getting positive feedback from people who have enjoyed one of Good Food recipes.

Q&A

What three ingredients do you always have in your fridge?
I always have avocados, natural yogurt and tomato ketchup. (Sorry - but you can't have a proper bacon sarnie without it!)
Who do you admire, and what would you cook for them?
Arsenal Football Club Manager, Arsene Wenger, but I definitely wouldn't attempt anything French! Maybe something traditionally English like lemon posset with shortbread biscuits.
Who inspired you to start cooking and fuelled your love of food?
My mum, who's from New Zealand. She started by teaching me how to make pikelets - the Kiwi version of English drop scones. In New Zealand fresh and seasonal ingredients have always been the key to good food and their influence in our meals spurred my love of cooking.
