Chef Sara Blattner is a culinary artist with over 18 years of experience in the kitchen. Born and raised in Pocatello Idaho. Sara developed a passion for cooking at a young age, surrounded by family recipes that her dad J., an incredibly gifted cook, created every night. He always showed food brings people together and comforts. He works with Sara in retirement. This blended her love of comfort food and family traditions with a push to be creative and use local, fresh ingredients. Her grandmother Sonya was a brilliant cook, opinionated, and a perfectionist.  Sara was able to stay with her grandmother (her dad J's mom) while attending school where she cooked beside her and strived to learn all her grandmother’s “secrets” she would never tell anyone, and boy did Sara and her grandma throw some amazing dinner parties! This truly helped to sculpt Sara’s view on food… it doesn’t always be fancy to be amazing and memorable. However, her grandmother would eat crab legs every chance she got!

After graduating from Le Cordon Bleu she honed her skills in working in restaurants and being a private chef for various clients in Scottsdale Arizona.  She then went on to be the hospitality and menu director for the main restaurant and all catering/special events at the Army Base, Fort Irwin in California.
