Summer Rose Sanders
Chef, author, and restaurateur
I have spent the last fifteen years building a life around food. It's more than just a chore for me. It's what I'm on the planet to do. I absolutely love it and love sharing it with you.
I trained under chef Matthew Kenney and published two books with Skyhorse Publishing. In Sedona, I run Local Juicery and Wildcraft Kitchen, two restaurants built around organic, seasonal, plant-forward food. My consulting company, SCR Consulting / Ceremony Foods, develops products including Full Circle Matcha.
My platform, Substack, Instagram, and podcast, is where I share what I am actually cooking, thinking about, and living through. Real food for real life. No rules.

Two books on healing food
Both published with Skyhorse Publishing. Built around the same philosophy I bring to everything: food that actually does something. No deprivation, no complicated techniques, just good ingredients and the confidence to use them.
